For twenty-two years, the Water Rescue Service of Hungary (WRSH ) has been there to make our holidays at Lake Balaton safer. Since its establishment, the members of the organisation have rescued more than three thousand people:  WRSH mainly provides beach and deep-water rescue but also carries out safety support for amateur and mass water sports events and gives lectures to raise awareness of the importance of accident prevention for safe bathing. 

This year, Egis Pharmaceuticals PLC sponsors the activities of WRSH as the domestic manufacturer of Betadine® solution.  "The work both of pharmaceutical employees and members of the water rescue team is a responsible task. We have a common goal: to prevent illness and accidents and to protect and save human life and health. It is a pleasure that Egis can contribute to a safe and secure holiday at Lake Balaton” – said Dr. István Hodász, CEO of Egis Pharmaceuticals PLC.

"I am delighted and proud because of this cooperation” - said Miklós Dárdai, Vice President of the Water Rescue Services of Hungary, who also thanked for the sponsorship on behalf of his colleagues.

The signing of the cooperation agreement coincided with the renaming of the 50er cruiser, the biggest sailing boat of the company which was renamed after the Betadine® solution. The sailing boat will participate in the Blue Ribbon Round the Lake Balaton Race (Kékszalag) under her new name. 

The 60-year-old Egis sailing section takes part in ten famous regattas yearly and often finishes in the top three, while the Egis Cup is one of the most prestigious sailing competitions on Lake Balaton.
