The study of mother mortality is important for the complications derived from the pregnancy, childbirth and puerperio that cause the death of more than half a million women every year. Cause of that we are interested in realizing a longitudinal, descriptive, retrospective, analytical and statistical study. On a whole of 64.038 patients joined the HMIGU, the whole of mother deaths was 30, and mother mortality in 7 years was 6.05 by 100.000 alive and death born. The number of caesarean was 25 %. The major percentage of deaths was in the group major of 35 years, woman with first pregnacy and those who had 5 or more gestations. The majority of the deaths happened in the third trimester of the gestation. The mother obstetric direct death (83 %) was the principal. The principal causes were infection (40 %), hemorrhage (36 %) and HELLP - CID. (12 %). The principal infectious reasons of death were the domiciliary childbirth and the sceptical abortion (60 %); and the principal hemorrhages of death was HELLP - CID.
