World Drowning Prevention Day is a global advocacy event which is observed on the 25th of July every year since 2021. The World Health Assembly marked this day as the World Drowning Prevention Day to spread the awareness on drowning and devise various counteractions to restrain it.

Various preventive measures as well as emergency responses are also advocated as part of the integrated health-care delivery, thus countering the growing burden of injuries and deaths related to drowning.

World Drowning Prevention Day 2023 Resolution 

This year 2023, the World Drowning Prevention Day resolution is "Anyone can drown, no one should".

This global call symbolises the work World Health Organisation (WHO) performs at various levels to avoid deaths due to drowning. 

?At the national level, WHO has collaborated with Ministries of Health in several low- and middle-income countries to prevent drowning through the deployment of obstacles, regulating access to water and the construction of pre-school day care centres. 

WHO provides regional training programmes and workshops to bring representatives together from governments, non-governmental organisations (NGO), and United Nations organisations working on drowning prevention.
