Hayek makes baby tetanus appeal

Salma Hayek has spoken out against the dangers of tetanus, which kills a newborn baby in an undeveloped country every three minutes.

The actress, a spokeswoman for the Pampers and UNICEF campaign to eliminate the disease, recently visited Sierra Leone as part of a vaccination drive.

According to UNICEF, tetanus is responsible for the deaths of 140,000 babies and 30,000 mothers in 50 countries worldwide each year.

"I had no idea how much it was going to really personally move me... to actually see it in Sierra Leone," Hayek said.

The 42-year-old recently welcomed daughter Valentina with former partner Francois-Henri Pinault.
