WHAT IF YOU COULD
SAVE A BABY’S LIFE?
There are few events more joyful than the day a new baby is
welcomed to the world. But in 38 countries, a dreaded disease quickly turns
that joy into tragedy.
Maternal
and neonatal tetanus (MNT) kills one baby every nine minutes — that's
60,000 babies every year who will never grow up,
make their mothers laugh, play with friends or dream about the future. The
effects of the disease are excruciating — tiny newborns suffer repeated,
painful convulsions and extreme sensitivity to light and touch. A
significant number of women die from MNT each year too.
