| description | Objective: In this paper, through primary sources, we intend to clarify and specify the role and actions taken by the government against the flu pandemic of 1918 in Bogotá. Materials and methods: Primary Sources: Newspapers of the time in Bogota and Colombia, official reports of the Central Board of Hygiene, official reports of the Board of Relief and medical thesis, National University of Colombia. Also, secondary sources on the topic were reviewed. Conclusion: The Public Hygiene, headed by State, proved unable to deal with the pandemic. The Relief Board was the only institution that took effective action. This institution of private character was created by the notables of the capital. The Board of Relief is remembered and praised by the print media, in contrast, the Central Board of Hygiene was represented as victim in the cartoons and was heavily criticized for their limited participation in the pandemic flu. |

Objetivo: El presente artículo, a través de las fuentes primarias, busca establecer el papel del estado y las medidas tomadas ante la aparición de la pandemia de gripa de 1918 en Bogotá. Materiales y métodos: Se consultaron como fuentes primarias los periódicos que circulaban en Bogotá y Colombia durante 1918, los informes oficiales de la Junta Central de Higiene y de la Junta de Socorros y las tesis de medicina de la Universidad Nacional de Colombia. Además de hacer una revisión de las fuentes secundarias sobre el tema. Conclusión: La Higiene Pública, en manos del Estado, se mostró incapaz de hacer frente a la pandemia, siendo la Junta de Socorros, un organismo privado constituido por los notables de la capital, la única institución que realizó acciones efectivas con los afectados. Esta institución aparece recordada y alabada por los medios escritos, en contraposición a la Dirección Nacional y Municipal de Higiene, que fueron fuertemente criticadas por su escasa intervención ante la pandemia y representadas como víctimas en las caricaturas. Palabras Clave: Gripa 1918, Pandemia, Bogotá, Junta de Socorros, Junta Central de Higiene.
