The article aims to analyze indicators associated with maternal and child wellbeing in the Cuban Covid-19 action protocols. We carried out a qualitative content analysis that combined a deductive logic derived from a bibliographic review of the literature on maternal and child wellbeing and positive childbirth experiences, and an inductive logic based on the processing of empirical information from Cuban protocols, in light of the recommendations issued by WHO and PAHO. The analysis revealed that the instructions emphasize the mother’s and child’s life and prioritize care provided for pregnant women as part of free and universal access to health. However, they neglect the qualitative aspects of wellbeing and service quality and, with this, they also neglect the pregnant woman’s and mother’s rights, as well as their physical, emotional, psychological, social and spiritual needs.
