In the past decade, more than 2.5 million people have drowned globally — including many young people and children. It's an issue Mike is focused on as World Health Organization Global Ambassador for Noncommunicable Diseases and Injuries, and Bloomberg Philanthropies has worked for years to prevent drowning in low- and middle-income countries, where more than 90% of drowning deaths occur and where children under the age of five are most at risk. Progress is being made: This year the United Nations declared July 25th as the first-ever World Drowning Prevention Day. But there's more to be done. Check out our video "Drowning in the Delta: Preventing Childhood Drowning in Bangladesh," and listen to our recent Follow the Data podcast, where public health officials from Bangladesh and Vietnam discuss life-saving solutions to this global challenge.
