- Abstract
The article discusses the need to establish an Integrated National Registry of Drowning and Aquatic Injuries in Portugal. It highlights that drowning is the second leading cause of external death among children in the country, but it remains a neglected problem. The creation of this registry would allow for the collection and availability of detailed data on drownings and aquatic injuries, enabling a thorough analysis of the problem and the development of more effective prevention strategies. The importance of collaboration between organizations, health authorities, and research units for the success of this initiative is emphasized. Takeda Pharmaceuticals Portugal had no involvement in the development of the poster or the preparation of this manuscript. The other authors stated that they have no conflicts of interest.
