Pregnant Women's Day is a legal commemorative day established in 2005 to raise awareness of the importance of pregnancy and childbirth and to foster a social atmosphere that supports pregnant women.

The city explained that the Mami Box goes beyond simply offering a gift, as it embodies support for the healthy formation of families, from marriage to childbirth and parenting.

Lee Donghee, Head of the Permits and Civil Affairs Division, said, "We prepared this initiative in hopes that newlyweds preparing for marriage and childbirth will feel warm encouragement and support in Gimhae. We will continue to promote family-friendly policies to encourage marriage and childbirth and help families build happy homes."
