Therefore, it is necessary for the health staff to be well trained, informed, and practice the guidelines prepared by the governing body of public health. According to the evidence to inform health policies, 7 out of 10 maternal deaths occurred in a health facility in 2009, and 208 maternal deaths were recorded, being Postpartum Hemorrhage (PPH) the leading cause of death (14.9%).1 Currently, maternal deaths occur during the first hours postpartum, thus, a research study was conducted to establish compliance with the procedures and tasks in the application of the Protocol of Maternal Care in Normal Birth, especially during the third stage of labor in pregnant women attended at the Obstetric Centre of Provincial Hospital Isidro Ayora of Loja.
