Among many multicultural families in Korea, marriage immigrant women, in particular, suffer from communication, lack of understanding of medical procedures and medical terms, and burden of medical expenses in using medical services before and after childbirth due to lack of Korean language skills.

Bento is voluntarily participated by married immigrant women who have had childbirth experience, and participation takes place after learning basic medical knowledge by completing a training program developed by Hallym University Medical Center.
So far, 117 bentos from five countries have been trained to help treat 16,673 married immigrant women, and bentos are even engaged in emotional support activities through empathy. In addition to Hallym University Medical Center, 48 ventos were dispatched to 12 hospitals, including obstetrics and gynecology hospitals, where medical interpretation services are weak, to help 2,107 married immigrant women.
In addition, it operates a childbirth class that provides health information and networks for married immigrant women, and supports health checkups for children from multicultural families and women with financial difficulties. It also carried out various support projects, such as developing a depression prevention program and an interpretation reservation program app.
As a result, Hallym University Gangnam Sacred Heart Hospital's multicultural family pre- and post-birth care service ranked first in satisfaction with a total score of 99.8 points among the foreign resident support projects organized by Seoul Metropolitan Government.
Choi Kyung-ae, head of the social work team at Hallym University's Gangnam Sacred Heart Hospital, said, `Multicultural families have difficulty adapting to Korean culture after moving to Korea. Especially in a situation where there are many difficulties due to lack of understanding and discrimination before and after childbirth, the multicultural family's prenatal care service with the Seoul Metropolitan Government has achieved great results"We will contribute to creating a harmonious community culture by continuously developing and promoting various programs for multicultural families."
