The challenge is for Bank of Valletta staff and customers to do one of the most selfless acts that they can ever do, by signing up to donate their organs following their demise.

Bank of Valletta said that it has embarked on a challenge to get as many people as possible to register their wish to become organ donors until Valentine’s Day.

The simple act of filling in an organ donation form ensures that the precious parts of our bodies can help save lives instead of going to waste.

The Bank said that donating our organs and tissues has the immense potential of saving and improving lives of others. Each donor can save up to eight lives.

It explained that this same donor can save or improve the lives of up to fifty people by donating tissues. But this can only happen if one is signed up as an organ donor.

“Registering as an organ donor is the ultimate gesture of altruism,” said BOV. “Each and everyone of us has the power to change someone’s world, giving them hope, life and granting them more time with their loved ones. For some of us the decision will be simple and easy.”

Simply pick up and fill in an application form from one of the BOV Branches, or download it from www.bov.com/documents/organ-donation-form and hand it at any BOV Branch between the 11th and 14th of February.

Bank of Valletta said that it will make a monetary donation to The Transplant Support Group Malta for every application form it receives. These funds will help the group share its message about the importance of organ donation.
