Statistical analysis was carried out using the SPSS Version 25 program, analyzing the absolute frequency, percentage, Chi2 with a 95% Confidence Interval and P value=0.05. Results.The highest percentage is represented byPreeclampsia, with 43.7%, while anemia (19.7%) and Eclampsia (11.7%) appear as complications to a lesser extent. When observing the obstetric complications according to the year, a tendency towards a decrease is demonstrated in this hospital, showing a decrease from 84 cases in 2018 to 22 cases in 2021, representing a difference of 73.8%; the decline observed may be due to the implementation of some national programs that generated positive changes towards sex education at the time.
