Kolkata: Vicks, a brand synonymous with family and care, today launched the third edition of its iconic #TouchOfCare campaign series joined by celebrities Shraddha Kapoor and R. Madhavan on the eve of National Doctors’ Day 2021. The past year has been challenging for many, and it is our Doctors who have carried us on their shoulders of hope, by selflessly caring for us, and our loved ones.
The third edition of #TouchOfCare, unveiled at a virtual event is a tribute to the Doctors’ community across the nation, underscores the powerful impact of care through the real-life extraordinary story of the late Dr. DnyaneshwarBhosale. The film takes viewers on the inspiring journey of Dr.Bhosale’s selfless acts of care, as he left no stone unturned to ensure many less fortunate children received life-saving medical attention during the pandemic. Gone too soon, Dr.Bhosale left behind his wife, kids and his dreams of building his own pediatric hospital. The film is a solemn reminder that like Dr.Bhosale, hundreds of doctors lost their lives during the pandemic leaving their families and dreams behind.
In addition to sharing Dr. Bhosale’s inspiring story, Vicks has also pledged to support Mrs.Bhosaleto help build a pediatric hospital in memory of her husband's extraordinary acts of care. Committed to making a meaningful difference and step up as a #ForceforGood, Vicks continues to support India’s fight against Covid-19through P&G’s Suraksha initiative. Under this initiative, P&G recently contributed towards 1 million vaccination doses for 5 lakh citizens in partnership with state governments and local authorities.
Dr. PriyankaDnyaneshwarBhosale, Wife of the late Dr. DnyaneshwarBhosale shared, “It was difficult to see my husband take his last breath and my prayer then was that somehow he would receive the healing hand of care just like the one he selflessly extended to many children. I thank Vicks for bringing to light my husband’s extraordinary work and inspiring story and joining me to keep his dream of building a children’s hospital in Latur alive so his memory and touch of care live on forever.”
Celebrity Shraddha Kapoor shared“A silent touch of care speaks a million words and our doctors have been an example of the powerful, life-saving impact it can have on many lives. Thank you to our medical warriors across India and to your families. You have been our strength and hope during this tumultuous time. This National Doctors’ Day, I stand with Vicks and pledge to keep the #TouchOfCare acts of our doctors alive so their care lives on.”
