Assalamu'Alaikum,
May Peace & Blessings Be Upon You



Internationally renowned cricketer and humanitarian Imran Khan, established the Shaukat Khanum Cancer Hospital in memory of his beloved late mother, who died of the disease in 1985. Throughout her illness Imran witnessed not only her pain but also of other patients and their families. Imran felt something had to be done for the poor and destitute sufferers of cancer.

In 1994 a $24 million state of the art cancer hospital was opened in Lahore, Pakistan. Subsequently 46 Diagnostic/Collection Centres countrywide were opened and land has been acquired for a cancer hospital in Karachi.



Over 140 million people live in Pakistan with an estimated 60 million below the poverty line. There are between 100,000 to 200,000 new cases of cancer reported every year in the country. Prior to the establishment of this hospital in 1994, no comprehensive free facility dedicated to the diagnosis and treatment of cancer existed in Pakistan.

We have been informed by the Prophet (pbuh) that, "Never does charity cause wealth to diminish." And God Almighty explains in the Qur'an, "Truly the reward of those who believe and do righteous deeds and establish Prayer and pay Zakah is with their Lord; they have no reason to entertain any fear of grief." (Surah Bakarah 2:277)

The month of blessings and reward is fast approaching. Help us assist the sick and needy during these special days, donate to the Imran Khan Cancer Appeal today. We would also like to wish the whole community a Ramadan Mubarak.
