The whole province has 7 children died from drowning.

(QBĐT) - According to statistics from the Department of Health, since the beginning of the year, the whole province has had 6 tragic drowning incidents that resulted in the death of 7 children (data as of May 25, 2025). Of which, Le Thuy district had 2 incidents with 2 children dying; Bo Trach had 1 incident with 2 children; Tuyen Hoa, Dong Hoi City and Ba Don Town each had 1 incident with 1 child dying.

Accidents mainly occur in rivers, streams, and lakes, where many children do not know how to swim or lack adult supervision when playing in the water.

Improving safe swimming skills helps reduce drowning in children.

Worryingly, the rate of drowning in children is still increasing during the hot season when students are on summer vacation. In addition, some localities still lack warning signs and barriers in dangerous areas; propaganda andeducation on drowning prevention skills for students and parents are not really effective.

Faced with this situation, functional sectors and local authorities are strengthening measures to prevent and combat drowning for children, such as: organizing free swimming lessons, training in water safety skills, propaganda on mass media and social networks; at the same time, calling for active participation from families, schools and the whole society in protecting children from the risk of drowning accidents.
