The final battle of 'Doctor Tetanus'

Neither the bite of the - fly [which causes the so-called sleeping sickness], or malaria or dengue fever, have been able to dissuade Francois Gasse to abandons his personal battle against neonatal tetanus.

Senior Project Officer of UNICEF on immunization since 2000, also known as' Doctor Tetanus' [although he preferred the nickname 'Doctor '], is convinced that the war can touch to an end in 2010. It is considered eradicated the disease when the frequency of their occurrence is less than one child per 1,000 newborns.

But even today, despite the existence of a vaccine, 180,000 children and 30,000 mothers die every year from their cause. 90% of these deaths occur in 27 developing countries, most of Africa.

"I think it is feasible, cheap and also much easier to eliminate other diseases such as malaria. Since 1999, a total of 11 countries have succeeded in eliminating the disease," has insisted that member during the presentation in Madrid UNICEF's campaign 'A pack = A vaccine', which this year is' Together we can eliminate neonatal tetanus. "

It also involved the Dodot company, which donates a vaccine for each package purchased by parents Spanish between October and December. In the previous year, the company managed to raise eight million vaccines.

'If you've seen someone with tetanus not ever forget it'

Neonatal tetanus is an infectious disease caused by a germ called 'Clostridium ' or 'bacillus Nicolai', who lives in the land, in the faeces and manure and that it is incapable of producing the disease if it does not feed in the human body through a wound in the form inactive. When the tissue is contaminated certain conditions, primarily a lack of oxygen, it begins to germinate into active forms, secreting a toxin harmful to the nervous system.

Is when you start the spiral of suffering. "If you've seen someone with tetanus not ever forget it. CAUSE spasms in the muscles and all the slightest noise makes them convulsions. They are the worst convulsions known to medicine. The pain is immense and the body is so arch violence Some patients have come to fracture the spine, "he adds.

"Poor hygiene during childbirth (like cutting the umbilical cord with a dirty knife) and the traditions of many countries are the cause of tetanus in newborns. The African cover the navel with cow dung, while in Cambodia or Laos do with cobwebs, "recalls Dr. Gasse that, following touring 92 countries in its fight against neonatal tetanus, acknowledges that it is" easier and faster to end the disease with the vaccine to try to change cultural habits of peoples ".

Just enough to administer three doses of vaccine tetanus toxoid (TT) to women of childbearing age. "Once they are protected against tetanus and became pregnant convey immunity to newborns in the first two or three months after birth. Later, the baby should receive three doses of DPT (Diphtheria / Pertussis / Tetanus) in services routine immunization, "says the expert.

While Dr. Francois Gasse diminish the significance of the great difficulties involved in tetanus vaccination in some corners of the globe, the truth is that their work is performed by saving new obstacles every day.

"In Africa, for example, many women have not seen a needle in their lives and gives them fear. Others however are suspicious and think that we are going to inject so that they can not have children. But in Pakistan, problem is that men can not vaccinate women. In the end we managed to train 50,000 Feminists for that alongside 9,000 men, to carry out the immunization plan, "he says.

The total cost of immunization (three doses of vaccine, logistics and administration for his transfer) amounted to 1.50 euros. "If we continue to get support, I am sure we can meet the deadline marked. The important thing is that the world knows that this disease exists. He never spoke of it and is a real tragedy," concluded the "anti-Doctor."

'The Madrid as a club for Franco, achieved what gave him the win'

And Ferguson, Sir Alex spoke. The coach of Manchester United, able to convince Cristiano Ronaldo to remain at Old Trafford when they saw it in Madrid and dressed in white, said in an interview published in the newspaper 'The Times' maneuvering of the Spanish club to bring to the Castellana best player in the world in 2008.

Ronaldo, the hero, became a villain after a summer of flirtation with Real Madrid. Ferguson has seen since the early front line of reconciliation in Britain and its star. "That chapter is finished," he said.

After his first sentence, begins to spread. First, the president of FIFA, Joseph Blatter, who months earlier had compared the player's contract situation with that of a slave. "I believe that Blatter is in danger ... or has reached a point where they laugh at him," he says. "Maybe it is becoming too old, I do not know. But the people with power you can move things. See if not for some dictators in Africa." Excuse me? "What I am trying to say is that from a position of great power, has delivered speeches ridiculous that you put in serious danger of damaging its credibility."

And the

Madrid? What does the head of the 'red devils'? "When we sold them to Heinze last summer, we knew what would happen, because Ronaldo was very close to him. I knew what they were doing. The Madrid was not interested in Heinze, a good footballer. Their ultimate goal was done with Ronaldo," complaint.

Recapitulation of events to Ferguson. Heated. Attacks. "What really obscene of all this is that Real Madrid as a club of General Franco, has a history before that democracy came to Spain, who wants to achieve and do what you want," he believes.

After the shooting, relaxes, remembers one of the greatest examples of football faithful who passed through his hands. "The British fans appreciate in particular the loyalty when a player comes from abroad," reflect. "For this reason, Eric Cantona is so loved here. If there was a player in this world made for United, this was Eric Cantona."

Ferguson always felt a weakness for the French genius. "I think Cantona spent their whole lives looking for someone to make you feel at home. He traveled to many countries; some people, like him, have some Gypsies, but when he arrived he learned that this was his site."

Do you have something in common Cristiano Ronaldo and Cantona? "When Cantona gives you the hand and looks you in the eye, intimidates you. Despite being so different, the virtue of Ronaldo is less recognized their value," acknowledges. "Courage? Of course. Courage in football, as in life, manifests itself in different ways. But the courage to move forward, no matter kicking received, identifies Ronaldo. Few players reach that level of delivery for winning the ball. "

Courage to retrieve the ball. But we also need to know to claim, maintaining it. "Ronaldo also has that ability, like all great players. As [George] Best, [Bobby] Charlton or Cantona. I would sack the corner, I shot the fault. But I keep the ball. I beat the enemy," reports.

In his more than 20 years in charge of United, Ferguson has known several players with tremendous determination. Not only Best, Cantona or Ronaldo. "[Paolo] Di Cani could have become a great player of Manchester. When you have a player with that charisma, like Best, [Ryan] Giggs, [Wayne] Rooney, Ronaldo or [Dimitar] Berbatov, it's easy to create heroes here" .
