The quality of the treatment applied to 32 pregnant women with hypertension, belonging to "Abel Santamaría Cuadrado" Health District 4 in Santiago de Cuba was evaluated. The study carried out from October 2009 to May 2010 included these pregnant women and 93 family physicians of the locality. The evaluation, which looked at process (scientific and technical quality) and result (satisfaction), was based on retrospective analysis of the obstetric records, examination of knowledge and information obtained through surveys. It was concluded, among other issues, that both the professionals and pregnant women were generally dissatisfied, therefore the therapy was inappropriate when comparing the indicators of each criterion with the preset standards.
