Kwara State government began a second round of maternal neonatal tetanus elimination programme across the 10 identified high risk local government areas of the state.
“Girls, pregnant women and women between the ages of 15 years and 49 years can access the injection in health centres and temporary fixed posts in Asa, Baruten, Edu, Ilorin East, Ilorin West, Irepodun, Moro, Oke-Ero, Oyun and Patigi identified as high risk LGAs,” she said. She added: “Without medical care mortality from NT is close to 100%, often exceeding 50% even with hospital care. Immunisation of women who are pregnant or of child bearing age reduces incidence of NT mortality by an estimated 94%.
