The quality of emergency obstetric care contributes to the maternal mortality rate (MMR) in Indonesia. Objective: To analyse the relationship between Service Quality (RATER) and the level of satisfaction of obstetric and gynaecology emergency patients in the emergency room of Fatimah Hospital, Lamongan. Methods: This study used an observational and explanatory cross-sectional design.

Data were analyzed using the Spearman correlation test with a significance level of 0.05. Results: The results showed a relationship between Reliability (r=0.161, p<0.001), Assurance (r=0.290, p<0.001), Tangibles (r=0.194, p<0.001), Empathy (r=0.328, p<0.001), and Responsiveness (r=0.212, p<0.001) with patient satisfaction.
