How We Help

Fighting cancer costs. In a country where 65 million live below the poverty line, most cancer patients in Pakistan neither have the means nor the support system to give them a fighting chance. At Imran Khan Cancer Appeal (IKCA), we help some of the world’s poorest beat cancer and take back control of their lives. We offer comprehensive cancer care free of charge, in hospitals which house all the specialised diagnostic and therapeutic facilities under a single roof.
