TUSQ & KOLQ:
3S Programme
MEFTAL-SPAS School Health Campaigns
Blue Cross has
launched the Special
Social Support (3S)
campaign for TUSQ
& KOLQ, to widen
our support to a
larger section of society and make our
mega brands TUSQ & KOLQ ‘Top of the
Mind’ for Doctors.
In the past few years, we have
seen Doctors contributing significantly
towards underprivileged children, needy
senior citizens, women and the families
of Army Jawans by prescribing the most
rational TUSQ and KOLQ formulations.
We are now poised to take another
unique step by involving Doctors in the
3S campaign. Our Chairman, Mr. N. H.
Israni, has set an objective of donating a
minimum of Rs. 50 lakhs through the
3S campaign by December 2012.
Doctors will gain much satisfaction
from this campaign, as not only will
their patients benefit from the TUSQ &
KOLQ formulations, but the benefit will
go far beyond, reaching needy children,
women and the elderly all over India.
The 3S campaign will thus definitely
help Blue Cross to triple prescription
sales for TUSQ & KOLQ formulations
while doing our bit for a social cause.
