What did you miss?
Dutch pediatricians are concerned about the number of children who drown. That figure has decreased for years, partly due to better swimming lessons and measures in swimming pools. But for some time there has been a decline no more talk. With many holidays in their own country this summer, doctors fear an increase, also because many children are behind with swimming lessons.
Every year, about eight children die from the consequences of severe oxygen deficiency underwater. But that number says nothing about what children are left with from a near-drowning, says pediatrician Joke Kieboom of the UMCG in Groningen, who did research into this. “Each year, about 80 children end up in hospital after a drowning or near-drowning, many of them in intensive care.”
