Thailand’s medical representative with the World Health Organization
In response to alarming death rate statistics, has called on local administrative organizations and schools to help limit loss of life by providing training to children to ensure their safety in the water.
With no government funded pools in our islands’ schools there is little opportunity for children in government schools to learn basic water safety. So we are blessed with beautiful beaches, but without swimming and safety classes, the sea and swimming pools are as much a hazard as a blessing for children.
