It infects newborns who then suffer from excruciating convulsions and have an extreme sensitivity to light and touch.What is MNT?Slide5
Maternal and Neonatal Tetanus strikes the poorest of the poor, the geographically hard to reach, and those without health care.In 34 countries in Africa, Asia, Europe and North America, it still strikes babies and mothers who have little or no access to health care — either because they are poor, live in remote areas or are caught in humanitarian emergencies.
