This research aims to understand the high variability in maternal mortality in Latin America and the Caribbean. For that the paper analyzes the cases of the Republic of Peru and the Republic of Chile, using a methodology descriptive qualitative approach. It was observed that in organizational design, health ministries that have a segmented and fragmented organizational structure, have difficulties in articulating their actions, not achieving coverage for the population, generating greater inequality in access to health care. In this sense differences in policy emphasis were observed, while the chilean case focuses on promotion and prevention, in the Peruvian case it focuses more on the recuperative part.
