In order to characterize severe maternal morbidity in the Granma province during 2018, a retrospective descriptive study of obstetric patients who classified as severe maternal mortality (MMG) treated in the Granma province during 2018 was carried out, by identifying of age, type of delivery, municipality of origin, incidence, MMG rate, prevalence and mortality rate. Patients with extreme ages of fertile life, and cesarean delivery predominated. Hypertensive disorders, hemorrhage, and puerperal sepsis were the main primary complications.
