The World Health Organization (WHO) released its first-ever drowning prevention report, highlighting a 38% reduction in global drowning death rates since 2000. Despite this progress, over 30 people still drown every hour, totaling 300,000 deaths in 2021. The majority of victims are children and young adults under 29. The report emphasizes the need for ongoing efforts and practical interventions to further reduce drowning deaths, particularly in low- and middle-income countries.
