A descriptive and cross-sectional study was carried out from January, 2010 to April, 2010 in order to assess the quality for syndromic management of pregnant women attended by specialists in general comprehensive medicine, who belong to the basic working group # 3 at ¨Capitán Asdrúbal López Vázquez¨ University Polyclinic from Guantánamo municipality. An expert group, along with the authors, who defined the criteria, indicators, and standards, as well as tools used in the investigation, was created. A professional competence test was applied and obstetrical medical records were checked. Data were processed through Version 3.1 from EPIDAT, a statistical software package. When comparing indicator results to the established standards, it was revealed that 84.6% were inappropriate, with a poor professional competence to guarantee health care to pregnant women undergoing that syndrome.

Keywords : pregnant woman; vaginal discharge syndrome; quality study; primary health care; Guantánamo.
