Objective:
This study seeks to describe the barriers to access to antenatal care in women with severe maternal morbidity, treated at a hospital in the city of Medellin, Colombia in 2017.
Methods:
Qualitative, ethnographic study using the ethnonursing approach proposed by Leininger, and Spradley's ethnographic interview.

Women with severe maternal morbidity consider that the health system does not guarantee access to health for them and their unborn children.
Conclusions:
It is concluded that the health system, to which the women included in the study are entitled, is not available, which conditions non-attendance to prenatal care programs.
