Introduction: The quality of healthcare has multiple dimensions, but the issue of patient safety stands out due to the impact it has on health outcomes, particularly on the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), expressly SDG3.

The purpose of this study was to collect current empirical studies to describe the pregnant women awareness about the obstetric danger sign in developing country.
