Yes We Can

Maternal and Neonatal (newborn) Tetanus is a deadly disease that can be easily eliminated through 5 simple vaccines that will ensure both the mother and her unborn child are immune for life.

Most of us in the GCC are privileged in having top notch medical facilities, that something as serious as Maternal and Neonatal Tetanus became something of the past. It is never thought of, rarely talked about nor discussed as we are automatically vaccinated against it from birth. We only hear about ‘Tetanus’ when we are cut by glass or step on rusted metal.

Unfortunately, this is not the case in our neighboring country, Yemen. With about 40% of the population having limited or no access to health facilities, Maternal and Neonatal Tetanus and it’s dangers is so much a reality, a very sad and life threatening reality.

Pampers and UNICEF have joined hands to eliminate Maternal and Neonatal Tetanus in Yemen through the Pampers UNICEF Campaign “1 Pack = 1 Life Saving Vaccine” where for each Pampers pack with UNICEF branding sold across the GCC, Pampers will contribute 1 Tetanus vaccine to Yemen.

This is a disease that does not need research to eliminate. This is a disease WE CAN eliminate.

Please join our efforts in spreading awareness on the campaign and reaching the target of contributing 5 million vaccines to our sisters and children in Yemen, to prove, as an Arab nation; We stand united in our efforts to eliminate Tetanus in Yemen”.
