Abstract
El presente artículo tiene como propósito analizar los efectos e impacto de la pandemia COVID-19 en la mortalidad materna de Perú, lo cual afectó la disponibilidad de recursos, equipos, demanda y acceso a los servicios de salud; se agrega el desvío de los recursos humanos, financieros para combatir el brote de la enfermedad infecciosa, el retraso de normas, políticas e insuficiente presupuesto público, fragmentación, desarticulación de los prestadores de salud y vulnerabilidad de los profesionales de salud. Es una investigación de enfoque cualitativo descriptivo y crítico, analizado en el aspecto social y económico de la mortalidad materna, datos epidemiológicos, normas técnicas, y la afectación del COVID-19 en la población gestante. Se analizó el incremento de la mortalidad materna de 45.4% y 56% el año 2020 y 2021 con respecto al año 2019, asimismo el logro alcanzado al 2015 a 68 muertes maternas y una disminución notable de 50% entre el año 2000 y 2019, para sucumbir por la pandemia en un retroceso de 12 años y convertirse la enfermedad COVID-19 en la tercera y primera causa de muerte materna indirecta el año 2020 y 2021. Destacando la aplicación de estrategias que tuvo la Región Lima, como una de las regiones con menor incidencia de 2 y 6 muertes maternas respectivamente. Ante esta problemática se concluyó la priorización de la capacidad resolutiva del primer nivel de atención, capacitación continua del profesional obstetra y la aplicación de estrategias promovidas por la Región Lima.

It is worth highlighting the implementation of strategies that had the Lima Region as one of the regions with the lowest incidence of 2 and 6 maternal deaths respectively. In view of this problem, it was concluded that priority should be given to the capacity of the first level of care, continuous training of obstetricians and the application of strategies promoted by the Lima Region.
