World Drowning Prevention Day, declared through a United Nations General Assembly Resolution, is held annually on 25 July. Through this global event, we remember lives lost due to drowning and aim to increase knowledge on safety in and around water. Drowning doesn’t have a single cause, or a single solution. But it can be prevented.

The World Health Organization is asking countries and partners to respond to their call to action for global drowning prevention:

• Do one thing.
• Improve one thing.
• Add one thing.
