Congratulations to all involved 🙏🏽
With >30k “reported” preventable drowning deaths, the framework highlights the inter-multi sectoral nature of the issue.
It signals actions with a whole of society approach.
We keenly 👀 to implementation & saving lives.

Honoured to be on @wcdp2023 panel on Future of Drowning Prevention in Africa. #AFRO accounts for >20% of global drowning but only 10 African delegates @wcdp2023 Many unable to get visas. Need to actively implement pathways for inclusion & build South-South partnerships

@TheRAC_UK - very disappointed to be told it will take 7 hours to recover our car and family (inc 2 <5yrs kids) from side of the motorway.. not really sure what to do now. Should we wait till 1am (estimated arrival time) or try and recover ourselves?
