The District Blood Bank of the IDCBIS, linked to the Health Sector of the Capital District, makes a priority call for donors of blood group O, Rh + and -, to supply the needs of blood components for patients of the Public Hospital Network of Bogota, since currently there are 1,500 donors of this blood group per month and the need is equivalent to 4,500.

Various factors such as rain, respiratory diseases and mid-year vacations generate a decrease in blood donations and affect the supply of the District Blood Bank IDCBIS, which supplies blood components primarily to public hospitals in the district.
Donations of blood group O - are necessary, since these units are the first to be administered when accidents occur, taking into account that they can be received by people of any other group: A, B, AB and O. On the other hand, there is usually a shortage of O + units, since approximately 50% of the population belongs to this blood group.

The District Institute of Science, Biotechnology and Innovation in Health, IDCBIS, calls on citizens to donate blood. "The blood that is donated does not have a price, it has a value: life itself", says Dr. Bernardo Camacho, director of the Institute, who requests the solidarity of Bogotanos between 18 and 65 years of age in good health and weighing more than 50 kg.

Next weekend the IDCBIS District Blood Bank will be with its mobile units in the following points, waiting for the collaboration of all citizens:
