In addition to the 11 organiser banks from Hungary, government leaders and other sponsoring banks also joined the blood donation events of the JÓTETT Bank programme series launched by the Hungarian Banking Association and elevated to a nation-wide event this year. On the closing day of Banking Blood Donor Week, employees and invited guests donated blood at the head office of Budapest Bank and the Service Centre in Békéscsaba, among other venues. More than 2 100 units of blood were collected during the week-long programme. The purpose of the event is to draw attention to the fact that, despite the pandemic, it is extremely important to have sufficient blood supplies, as blood products are essential not only in the case of accidents or surgeries, but also for the treatment of various illnesses.
