Eliminate<br />
IRAQ AND COTE D'IVOIRE ELIMINATE MATERNAL NEONATAL<br />
TETANUS<br />
<strong>May</strong> <strong>2013</strong> - The World Health Organization conducted validation surveys<br />
in Iraq and Cote D’Ivoire, and the results show these two countries have<br />
eliminated maternal and neonatal tetanus (MNT). More newborns and<br />
mothers’ lives are now free from the anguish <strong>of</strong> tetanus.<br />
Since 1999, UNICEF and its partners<br />
have eliminated the disease<br />
in 31 countries, including Cameroon,<br />
China and East Timor. MNT<br />
still remains a deadly threat in 28<br />
countries.<br />
Cambodia and Sierra Leone are<br />
scheduling validation surveys after<br />
completing vaccination field<br />
work.<br />
The final push to eliminate MNT<br />
globally will require US$110 million and the dedicated work <strong>of</strong> UNICEF<br />
and every member <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Kiwanis</strong> family. Thank you for your commitment<br />
and support.<br />
Your gift and your club's gift will provide muchneeded<br />
funds to continue elimination efforts.<br />
Did you know that your <strong>Kiwanis</strong><br />
Magazine uses the same type <strong>of</strong><br />
electronic presentation as the Australian<br />
Kiwanian now uses<br />
The good thing about this is that to read<br />
it, you can simply click on the picture at<br />
left, which will open the April/<strong>May</strong> or<br />
the March edition.<br />
The <strong>Kiwanis</strong> Mag is therefore available to each and everyone <strong>of</strong> you at<br />
the click <strong>of</strong> a button. (Internet access is obviously required.).<br />
