SLP Data as of October 2, 2012
1 baby dies every 9 minutes.
Maternal and Neonatal Tetanus: MNT• MNT is caused by tetanus spores.• When umbilical cords are cut with
unsainitzed blade, the cord is exposed to tetanus spores.
• The baby is now sensitive to light and touch which can cause spasms.
• 160 babies die from MNT every day.• $1.80 can immunize a mother and her future
children. • There are only 32 countries left with MNT.
