  2. What is it? • In 34 countries around the world MNT exists. • MNT kills one baby every nine minutes. • These tiny newborns suffer repeated, painful convulsions and extreme sensitivity to light and touch. There is little hope of survival. • Tetanus kills mothers too.

  3. Why it happens. • MNT is caused when tetanus spores, found in soil everywhere, come into contact with open cuts during childbirth. • The disease strikes the poorest of the poor, the geographically hard to reach and those without health care.
