Description
Joanne Vincenten and co-authors call in 2023 for firm action on child drowning, a major and neglected cause of death. Each year, drowning kills more than ninety six thousand children and teens worldwide in their first two decades of life.
That toll works out to hundreds of deaths each day. The authors argue for a joint effort that matches how risks change as children grow. Proven steps must reach every child, backed by policy, funding, and research. Good practice should be spread across health, child protection, schools, infrastructure, transport, and work safety. Commitment from governments and funders, they say, can turn this moment into real change.
