Methods: It was a qualitative study using the methodology proposed aer Anselm Strauss and Julieth Corbin's Grounded eory (GT). Results and Conclusion: The relations between the health care workers and the pregnant women during the delivery process are framed under both a macro-context like the Colombian health system and a neoliberal perspective that commodies the life. The shutdown of many maternity wards and some of the hard labor conditions have impacted the relations between the health care workers and the mothers during the delivery process.
