India Eliminates Disease That Will Spare Thousands Of Mothers And Newborns

Health advocates in India are celebrating a major milestone that will save thousands of mothers’ and babies’ lives. The World Health Organization declared that India has officially eliminated maternal and neonatal tetanus (MNT), a disease that predominantly plagues low-income patients. Just a few decades ago, the country reported about 150,000 cases a year, according to WHO. The disease is typically transmitted when the umbilical cord is cut in an unsanitary way and nearly all newborns infected with tetanus die, according to UNICEF. MNT usually occurs in developing countries where patients have limited or no access to proper treatment facilities and presents with severe muscle spasms.
