The aim was to evaluate obstetric emergencies at the Gao hospital. Materials and Methods: This was a descriptive, cross-sectional, analytical, prospective study from January 1 to December 31, 2015, i.e. a period of 12 months. Results: During our study period, we registered 1853 patients among whom were 88 cases of obstetric emergencies, i.e. a frequency of 4.75%. The age group between 15 and 19 years old was the most concerned. Obstetric emergencies are dominated by: placenta previa 20.45%, retroplacental hematoma (RPH) 12.5%, fetal distress (FAS) 12.5%, postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) due to uterine atony 13.63%. Caesarean section was the most used mode of delivery with 70.45%. The maternal death rate was 6.82%. The cause of maternal death was haemorrhage. We say that obstetric emergencies are a public health problem in the world. The conditions of evacuations and the unfavorable socio-economic conditions are the main problems in our context. Conclusion: Urgent care and an improvement in the standard of living of the population are necessary to reduce fetal-maternal mortality.
