“Allah Almighty will say on the Day of Resurrection: "O son of Adam, I was sick, but you did not visit Me." He will say: "My Lord, how can I visit You when You are the Lord of the worlds?" Allah will say: "Did you not know that My servant was sick, and you did not visit him, and had you visited him you would have found Me with him?’” (Muslim)
Join us in celebrating 30 years of service as we work towards improving childhood cancer cure rates in Pakistan. Did you know that 80% of children with cancer in high-income countries can be fully cured? Unfortunately, the cure rate drops to less than 30% in developing countries like Pakistan. (World Health Organisation).
At Imran Khan Cancer Appeal we are on a mission to close this gap.
You can sponsor the full or partial treatment of a cancer patient at Shaukat Khanum Hospitals with your Zakat. Your contribution, however big or small, will provide access to essential medication and supportive therapies for children and adults at our world-class facilities.

In this video, Huzaifa’s mum is joined by Dr Alina Sadaf and Dr Faisal Sultan, CEO of Shaukat Khanum Hospitals, as they discuss our patient sponsorship programme. Scroll down to watch Laiba's video and discover why Dr Alina is her favourite doctor!
This year, as Shaukat Khanum Hospitals celebrate 30 years of service, our founder is unable to make an appeal to mark this significant milestone. In his absence, we hope you will continue to sponsor our patients with your Zakat, showing that we still stand together in the fight against cancer.
30 YEARS OF PATIENT SPONSORSHIP IMPACT
Many of the families who bring their children to Shaukat Khanum Hospitals are too poor to meet their basic daily needs, let alone the high cost of cancer treatment. The Zakat you give allows 75% of them to benefit from free cancer care throughout the year while subsidising the treatment of others.
We understand the importance of giving, which is why we are careful about how we administer your Zakat. Our patient sponsorship programme is dedicated to funding direct patient care. All other expenses, including hospital running costs and medical equipment, are covered by Sadaqah, Sadaqah Jariyah, and other forms of charitable giving.
Is one-to-one Zakat sponsorship right for you?
Sponsors who want to give more can select a patient of their choice through our one-to-one sponsorship service, which starts at £4,000.
We send you profiles of patients who need assistance, along with the estimated treatment costs for each case. You decide how much Zakat to give towards their care and whether you want to make a one-time donation or spread your payment over several months.
You also decide on the level of engagement you want, from receiving regular medical updates to:
- Celebrating key treatment milestones with your patient
- Visiting your patient (subject to available dates from our hospitals)
- Writing to your patient
We support you throughout the entire process.
