Event Details

The Ministry of Water and Environment in collaboration with the Makerere University School of Public Health invites you to a webinar in commemoration of the first ever World Drowning Prevention Day on 27th of July 2021 starting at 9:40am.

The United Nations (UN) General Assembly met in April this year and passed a resolution on global drowning prevention. The Assembly declared 25th July the day for "Global Drowning Prevention", to be marked every year.

This day is an opportunity for different stakeholders to jointly advocate for the prevention of drowning, a neglected injury that silently claims thousands of lives every year. Uganda being a member of the UN and among the most affected countries, will join the rest of the world to commemorate this day.

The seminar will feature eminent speakers including policy makers, technical experts, civil society organisations, and scholars.

The public is encouraged to participate.
