Tetanus claims the life a child every three minutes
Even today, tetanus kills 150,000 infants and 30,000 mothers from maternal tetanus each year. 'Newborn tetanus' and 'Maternal tetanus' are both caused by the bacteria Clostridium Tetani'. It enters the body through open wounds during unclean deliveries, killing 95% of newborns infected. Symptoms of this brutally painful disease are horrific and include: tightened and rigid jaw muscles known as "lockjaw", uncontrollable muscle spasms, intense arching of the back, and the inability to eat and breathe, leading to death.
