This study characterized as a qualitative descriptive exploratory approach is to analyze the aspects that contribute to maternal mortality in Mossoró-RN. Data were collected between the months of November and December 2013, through semi-structured interviews with 16 health professionals, half of them employees of Primary Health Care and the other half of obstetric emergency, and 04 women who had pregnancy high-risk ICU. The number of professionals and women was determined by the saturation method in information collection in qualitative research. The interviews were transcribed and subjected to content analysis technique, specifically the thematic analysis, enabling a deeper and beyond the content of the speeches. Thus, three categories were constructed of analysis, namely: to prenatal in the town of Mossoró / RN; the factors that contribute to maternal mortality in Mossoró / RN; and near death: The story of high-risk pregnancies who were admitted to the Intensive Care Unit. The interpretation of information reviewed revealed the harsh reality of the network of care for pregnant women in the county, in its three levels, point to some factors that contribute to increased morbidity and mortality, suggest some actions that could decrease the value, perceive and report how they deal death maternal and feelings involved, and also report the experience of women who had risk of death during pregnancy. We realized, in speaking of the need for professionals to put into practice what already exists in theory, the protocols, manuals and orders of the Federal Government. Again we know what needs to be done to reduce maternal mortality and improve quality of care, but there is no concrete initiative to be made effective and all have the expected result. What is there not to neglect all but of all parties. Initially need to train managers and sensitize them to this issue. Citizens also need to be empowered and knowledgeable of their rights of public policies, so that they can charge services and compliance managers. Finally we need to raise awareness among professionals in the pursuit of knowledge and the fight for better working conditions, sufficient human resources and pay for them also charge service excellence. Thus we understand that professionals smaller numbers of maternal mortality and greater satisfaction of SUS, especially in this case, women who require obstetrical service.
