In Ecuador, the estimated number of women who die from obstetric causes is 150 per year, and among these causes is obstetric hemorrhage. The World Health Organization (WHO) has identified maternal care as a public health priority. Therefore, it is recommended to create prevention, management, and control programs to reduce maternal deaths. However, after a literature review, it was shown that the interns’ knowledge level was average. Consequently, it is considered necessary to perform this test in Ecuador. Objective: To determine the knowledge about the Red and Blue Obstetric Code among Rotating Interns at the “José Carrasco Arteaga” Specialty Hospital, Cuenca-Ecuador, in 2024.
