Our values
Our mission & vision
75% of the patients who come to Shaukat Khanum Memorial Cancer Hospital in Pakistan are too poor to meet their basic daily needs, which is why, with your help, we provide them with free treatment throughout the year. Our founder is unable to make an appeal for our hospitals this year, but in this absence, we hope you will continue supporting our patients and show that we still stand together in the fight against cancer.
Donation Appeal For SKM Cancer Hospital
Dear Friends,
As-Salaamu Alaikum,
In December 2022, Shaukat Khanum Memorial Cancer Hospital and Research Centre in Lahore completed twenty-eight years of serving humanity and our second hospital, in Peshawar, marked seven years of operations. There was a time when I was told that building and running a cancer hospital in Pakistan, where the majority of patients would be treated free of charge, was impossible. Your continuing support over the years has silenced the nay-sayers and has shown that the Pakistani nation is capable of overwhelming generosity and compassion.
For Pakistan, 2022 was fraught with a variety of challenges, including the COVID-19 pandemic, the devastating floods and the fallout from global economic turmoil. Nevertheless, we continued to provide world-class treatment to our cancer patients, in Lahore, in Peshawar and at our diagnostic center and clinic in Karachi. I want to thank the countless donors and supporters who make it possible for us to continue to provide state-of-the-art cancer treatment, free of charge, to over 75 percent of our patients.
Today, I remain more confident than ever that your generosity will enable us to open our third, and Pakistan’s largest, dedicated cancer hospital in Karachi at the end of 2023, as planned, In sha’ Allah.
With warmest personal regards,
