Objective: To describe the maternal mortality in the health macro-regions of Mato Grosso do Sul from 2011 to 2019. Methods: Descriptive and cross-sectional study of reported cases of maternal mortality in the state of Mato Grosso do Sul and its health macro-regions from 2011 to 2019. Data were extracted by accessing the Mortality Information System data source. Data on age group, education, color, marital status, place of occurrence, cause and pregnancy-puerperal period were stored in Microsoft Excel sheets. The Maternal Mortality Ratio was calculated for each macro-region. Results: 237 maternal deaths were identified, with 46.0% in the macro-region of Campo Grande, 32.5% in Dourados, 11.4% in Três lagoas and 10.1% in Corumbá. There were 391,171 live births in the state of Mato Grosso do Sul and the maternal mortality rate in this period was 60.6/100,000 live births. Conclusion: Maternal mortality numbers remain high and the maternal mortality coefficient is classified as very high. Despite advances in improving obstetric care and the existence of public health policies, the number of deaths that could be prevented with the use of simple technologies at the primary level of health care to identify complications remains alarming.
