To achieve neonatal tetanus elimination, incidence of neonatal tetanus per 1000 live bihs should be reduced to less than -

Ans. is `a' i.e., 0.1 o Districts are being classified into three categories, depending on neonatal tetanus incidence rate, immunization coverage in pregnant women, and propoion of clean deliveries by trained personnel. 1. Neonatal tetanus high risk : - o NT incidence rate > 1/1000 live bihs or TT2 coverage < 70% or Attended deliveries < 50% 2. Neonatal tetanus control NT incidenc rate < 1/1000 live bih or TT2 coverage > 70%. or Attended deliveries > 50%. 3. Neonatal tetanus elimination NT incidence rate < 0.1/1000 live bih or TTC coverage > 90%. or Attended deliveries > 75%
