Hope of Life for Cancer Patients Shaukat Khanum Memorial Cancer Hospital Karachi

Shaukat Khanum Memorial Cancer Hospital and Research Center (SKMCH&RC) is a renowned healthcare institution in Pakistan. Founded by the legendary cricketer, Imran Khan, it has been providing world-class cancer treatment and research facilities to patients from all over the country for over 25 years. With the growing demand for cancer care services in Pakistan, SKMCH&RC is expanding its operations and has recently started construction of a new hospital in Karachi.

The new hospital in Karachi is being built on a 20-acre site in DHA City, and will be equipped with state-of-the-art facilities for cancer treatment, research, and education. The construction of the hospital is expected to be completed by the end of 2023, and it will be one of the largest cancer care facilities in the country.

The new hospital in Karachi will have a capacity of 750 beds, and will provide a range of cancer care services, including chemotherapy, radiation therapy, surgery, and palliative care. It will also have dedicated research facilities for cancer diagnosis and treatment, as well as education and training facilities for healthcare professionals.

The new hospital in Karachi is part of SKMCH&RC’s efforts to expand its reach and provide cancer care services to more patients across the country. With a population of over 22 million people, Karachi is the largest city in Pakistan and has a high incidence of cancer. The new hospital will be a much-needed addition to the city’s healthcare infrastructure and will help to address the growing demand for cancer care services.

In addition to the new hospital in Karachi, SKMCH&RC also has hospitals in Lahore and Peshawar, and a network of diagnostic centers and clinics across the country. The organization is committed to providing affordable and accessible cancer care to patients, regardless of their financial status. SKMCH&RC provides free cancer treatment to around 75% of its patients through the Zakat and donations of generous donors.
