An underrecognized public health issue kills more than 235,600 people every year worldwide. It s not a disease. It s not a health condition.
It s drowning.
Even as severe new outbreaks of the COVID-19 pandemic take hold in places like India and parts of the Middle East, this week the U.N. passed a resolution that commits member state governments to making greater efforts to combat death by drowning one of the top ten causes of death for children between the ages of 5 and 14.
Under the resolution, which was put forth by Bangladesh and Ireland and co-sponsored by 79 member states, signees agree to raise public awareness and develop a national drowning reduction strategy with measurable targets, among other efforts. The resolution also names July 25 as annual U.N. Day for drowning prevention.
