Tetanus MENANCE in PAKISTAN

aLTHOUGH Tatanus is almost eradicated from civilised world but it is yet a big menance in Pakistan..daily scores of young children, newborn babies and field workers who get pricked by some nails, or brushed by rusted iorn needles lying in the fields, thrown by quacks or hospital workers care lessly contract Tetanus to un immunised people..and vast majority of them die due to pain full seizures caused by toxin of Tetanus....most of ladies give birth to children at their homes , umblical cords are cut by an old fashion scissors or blade (used)..this is the 21 century we are living in Pakistan, where ventilators are not available in every hospital even where controlling fits is not in knowledge of many doctors, and in a country where Drs can announce to attendants that this is incurable...?? Lives are lost and only one in 10 victims is lucky to survive..God Bless those who inject faulty vaccines...and sell costly immunoglobulins which every one can not afford.!!
