Helping children, and their families, cope with illness can have a great impact on children, on their families and on society as a whole. Equally, reducing the severity and frequency of accidents among children is an important priority. Accidents are a particular hazard in early life as inexperience combines with exuberance. They are the leading cause of childhood death. Through its corporate and decentralised structure, Johnson and Johnson is able to support initiatives at both European and national levels.
At the European level, Johnson and Johnson - Europe, Middle East and Africa partnered with the European Consumer and Safety Association’s Child Safety Alliance and provided valuable support to the Alliance, i.e. we try to help the Alliance to increase diversity, enhance strategic thinking and to broaden the approach.
At the same time but at the national level, Johnson and Johnson - Europe, Middle East and Africa support many of the associated child safety organisations. In Greece, for example, the Centre for Research and Prevention of Injuries among the Young at Athens University Medical School has a project supported by Janssen-Cilag Greece to develop an information campaign on the risks and prevention of childhood drowning.
This partnership is very valuable for our company but more particularly for the children themselves. Disabilities from childhood accident may present such a life burden that reducing the number of accidents will bring lifetime benefits throughout the region. The European Child Safety Alliance did and is still doing a great job to increase public awareness of child accidents and the opportunity to reduce them and make specific recommendations to the European Parliament, the European Commission and Member States.
