Q.3) Consider the following statements regarding Maternal and neonatal tetanus (MNT):
- It is the most common lethal consequences of unclean deliveries and umbilical cord care practices.
- India had eradicated maternal and neonatal tetanus in 2015.
- According to WHO MNT can be eliminated (defined as less than one case of neonatal tetanus per 1000 live births in every district).
Select the correct statement using the codes given below:
a) 1 only
b) 2 only
c) 1 and 2 only
d) All of the above
Answer: d
Explanation
Maternal and neonatal tetanus (MNT) have been among the most common lethal consequences of unclean deliveries and umbilical cord care practices. When tetanus develops, mortality rates are extremely high, especially when appropriate medical care is not available.
This happens despite the fact that MNT deaths can be easily prevented by hygienic delivery and cord care practices, and/or by immunizing mothers with tetanus vaccine that is cheap and very efficacious.
The MNT Elimination Initiative aims to reduce MNT cases to such low levels that the disease is no longer a major public health problem. Unlike polio and smallpox, tetanus cannot be eradicated (tetanus spores are present in the environment worldwide), but through immunization of pregnant women and other women of reproductive age (WRA) and promotion of more hygienic deliveries and cord care practices, MNT can be eliminated (defined as less than one case of neonatal tetanus per 1000 live births in every district).
India had eradicated maternal and neonatal tetanus in 2015. Announced by modi government in August 2015.
