Drowning in Low and Middle Income Countries
Drowning in low and middle income countries is a significant problem that accounts for as much as 96% of the global burden of drowning deaths. This stream included many papers from researchers and policy makers from across Asia and Africa, and covered a diverse range of themes.
A key component of this stream is intervention research, collaborations and perspectives on what is needed to impact this significant issue.
