The objective of this study is to determine factors that are directly and indirectly associated with maternal death. This is a quantitative study with a retrospective approach carried out on an exhaustive sample of 26 cases of death recorded at the General Referral Hospital of the Rural Health Zone of Bunia from January 2023 to July 2024 by the cross-sectional method supported by the documentary analysis of Antenatal records, partograms and maternal death review records. After analysis, it was observed that 23.1% of maternal deaths are linked to postpartum hemorrhage whose associated factors are direct and 57.7% of maternal deaths have unknown indirect associated factors. Based on these results, it is observed that maternal death remains a problem in the rural health zone of Bunia, despite the multiple steps and actions taken to avoid or reduce it, we wish that the government, not only supports the General Referral Hospital of Bunia in its fight against maternal death by strengthening the health providers’ capacity in the care of women but also, that women put into practice all the orientations offered to them during antenatal consultations.
Author Keywords: associated factors, maternal death, General Referral Hospital.

Abstract: (french)
L’objectif de ce travail est de déterminer les facteurs associés directement et indirectement au décès maternel. Il s’agit d’une étude est quantitative d'approche rétrospective réalisée sur un échantillon exhaustif de 26 cas de décès enregistrés à l’Hôpital Général de Référence de la Zone de Santé Rurale de Bunia de janvier 2023 à juillet 2024 par la méthode transversale soutenue par l’analyse documentaire des fiches de CPN, les partogrammes et les fiches de revue de décès maternel. Après analyse, il s’est observé que 23,1% des décès maternel sont liés à l’hémorragie du postpartum comme cause associées directes et 57,7% de décès maternel sont des causes indirectes inconnues. En fonction de ces résultats, il s’observe que le décès maternel reste encore un problème dans la zone de santé rurale de Bunia, malgré les multiples démarches pour l’éviter ou le réduire, nous souhaitons que le gouvernement accompagne l’Hôpital Général de Référence de Bunia dans les actions de la lutte contre le décès maternel en renforçant la capacité des prestataires dans la prise en charge des femmes. Mais aussi, que les femmes mettent en pratique toutes les orientations qui leur sont proposées pendant les consultations prénatales.
