JYSK Donates Home Furnishing Items to Hospital

JYSK is assisting the Semmelweis Hospital in Kiskunhalas, which is said to be of key importance in the coronavirus epidemic, with a product donation worth more than HUF 11 million.

Since the beginning of the epidemic, JYSK has been continuously supporting hospitals fighting the epidemic with more or less product donations in almost every country where it is present, the company says. In Hungary, too, it has already helped with product donations in settlements where there are JYSK stores.

“A few weeks ago – even in the darker phase of the coronavirus epidemic – when we opened our latest JYSK store in Kiskunhalas, we made an offer to the town and hospital management that we were ready to support the hospital with bedding. They welcomed JYSK products and even in addition to bedding, we were happy to donate a number of furniture and home furnishings to the medical hotel, which makes rest for the professionals fighting the coronavirus epidemic more comfortable,” JYSK Country Manager Sándor Szimeiszter said.

The hospital's Director General Chief Physician Szabolcs Szepesvári said they were grateful for the supportive cooperation and offer of the JYSK department store. With the donation, they can decorate the interior of the renovated doctor's apartments in high quality and Scandinavian style, "so that we can provide a suitable environment for young colleagues coming to our hospital."

Kiskunhalas Mayor Róbert Fülöp believes that this donation is a good example of the overall social cohesion that has characterized the recent months, and it is also important for businesses to improve the living and working conditions of Semmelweis Hospital and its employees.

JYSK's donation consists of 150 blankets, 150 pillows, 150 bedding sets as well as complete equipment for eight medical apartments (sofa beds, armchairs, wardrobes, dining room furniture, office furniture and home accessories).
