Donate blood when it is needed most

On October 30, the District Blood Bank IDCBIS started a new blood donation program called Inagotables. This program seeks to respond to the need to collect blood components, which increases in the middle and end of the year.

The mission is to find committed blood donors, since they would be the ones who, with their donations, would become a hope for the patients at the moment when they need it the most.

The idea was born from the District Blood Bank IDCBIS because, with the experience of more than 17 years supplying the needs of blood components in the network of public hospitals in the District, it is known how much the reduction in blood donations during the holiday season can affect patients.

Considering that it is recommended to donate blood every 6 months, it is expected that the Inagotables will donate blood twice a year. This would occur right at the time of greatest need. 

It is expected, with the consolidation of this altruistic community, to contribute to the knowledge of the culture of donation and combat the myths that exist around blood donation with some messages that will be transmitted in the digital media of the District Institute of Science, Biotechnology and Innovation in Health, IDCBIS.

The registration process consists of entering www.idcbis.org.co/inagotables, the goal is to get more information and fill out a questionnaire, so that the person who completes the process is committed to donate blood on the date of greatest need. Whoever completes this process could be scheduled for the next blood donation day.

The team of collaborators of the District Blood Bank IDCBIS continues its daily work of approaching different communities to fulfill the mission of getting blood components to patients in need of transfusion. So if someone wants to make their blood donation immediately, you can consult the days at https://idcbis.org.co/banco-distrital-de-sangre/
