Introduction: Childbirth is an extraordinary event in the life of a woman, given precisely because it is the culmination of human pregnancy and at the same time, the beginning of a new life, which is why special interest is attributed to it at a universal level. Objective: Analyze compliance with standards and indicators of humanized labor and birth in the Type C Health Center. Materials and Methods: Observational, descriptive, prospective, cross-sectional study. With a total population of patients attended in the Obstetric Center Service of the "Velasco Ibarra" Institute, in Machala Ecuador, from January to December 2020. Results: 743 patients had prenatal control with more than 5 sessions, 100% of deliveries It was spontaneous, with antepartum rupture, without induction, mostly with complete weeks. Regarding the presentation of childbirth, 996 cases were cephalic presentation. 862 patients did not have companions, but the health group, doctors and nurses and only 125 were allowed to have their partner. Regarding the position of delivery, 908 were in the lithotomy (gynecological) position, in terms of analgesia, only 267 and none required anesthesia, nor did they require blood, sulfate, iron or postpartum contraceptives. Conclusions: The inclusion of the humanizing and integral component is required for the conception of childbirth as a natural and physiological process, with the scientific-humanist combination in the achievement of quality care and warmth, where the Ecuadorian woman is the protagonist of her childbirth process as a subject of care and not as an object of care.
