    Drowning is the third leading cause of unintentional injury death, accounting for 7% of injury-related deaths globally. It is a major cause of disability and death, particularly in children. Drowning occurs through submersion in a liquid that causes respiratory impairment. Types of drowning include near drowning, dry drowning, secondary drowning, saltwater drowning and freshwater drowning. Risk factors vary between age groups but common causes are accidents involving infants near water, lack of supervision for children aged 1-5, and recreational activities for young adults. Prevention through community education is key to reducing drowning-related morbidity and mortality.
