We need to understand more about the circumstances surrounding each drowning death, such as where it happened, what the person was doing at the time, and what interventions could have potentially prevented the tragedy.”

To address this data gap, the WHO and Bloomberg Philanthropies are calling for more countries to develop national strategies to prevent drowning deaths. These strategies should include collecting more detailed data on drowning incidents, analyzing the data to identify trends and risk factors, and implementing evidence-based interventions to address these risks.

By working together to implement evidence-based interventions, raise awareness about drowning prevention, and collect data to inform national strategies, countries can continue to make progress in reducing drowning deaths. With continued support from organizations like Bloomberg Philanthropies, we can work towards a future where every person has the knowledge and resources to prevent drowning and stay safe around water. Drowning prevention has been a critical global issue, with efforts to increase data collection and analysis being a major focus of the Initiative to Prevent Drowning. The lack of national strategies to prevent drowning has been a continuing challenge, with only 45% of countries in the European Region having a national plan in place, compared to a mere 15% in the African Region. Policies such as fencing around swimming pools and incorporating swimming training into national curricula are lacking in many countries, highlighting the need for more comprehensive prevention strategies.

Michael R. Bloomberg, a key advocate for drowning prevention, emphasized the importance of government collaboration with local partners to address this public health issue. Despite progress being made, the growing impact of climate change poses a new threat to drowning prevention efforts. Extreme weather events, disrupted rainfall patterns, and increased migration all contribute to a higher risk of drowning. Strengthening weather alerts and raising public awareness are crucial steps in mitigating these risks.

The current political landscape, including the Trump Administration’s decision to withdraw from the World Health Organization and cut support for international collaboration, also presents challenges to global drowning prevention efforts. However, ongoing initiatives such as Bloomberg Philanthropies’ commitment to working in high burden countries until 2027 demonstrate a continued dedication to reducing drowning deaths.

The declaration of July 25 as World Drowning Prevention Day by the United Nations General Assembly in April 2021 is a significant step towards raising awareness and promoting collaborative efforts in drowning prevention. It is essential to recognize the far-reaching impact of preventable drowning deaths on individuals, communities, and countries, and to prioritize global cooperation in addressing this issue. Failure to do so could have detrimental consequences for all involved.
