ABSTRACT
After 10 years of implementing the program of neonatal tetanus elimination from 1992 to 2001 in the Northern region, the tetanus toxoid coverage for pregnant and for child bearing age women have always been maintained at greater than 84%. The incidence of NT per 1000 live births has decreased, from 0.23 in 1994 to 0.07 in 2001. The disease has been eliminated at provincial level since 1995 and at district level since 1999.
