Media resources for World Drowning Prevention Day 2022

The World Health Organization has developed a suite of resources to encourage and support media coverage of World Drowning Prevention Day activities. These include:

  1. A media resource document which contains key facts on the burden and impacts of drowning, together with practical, evidence-based messaging on how drowning can be prevented.
  2. An editable Press Release template, which may be customized to capture local events and activities being planning for World Drowning Prevention Day 2022.
  3. A photo gallery which contains images for download and use in media coverage. We ask that photo credits are included alongside photo use.
