Thank You for your Support

Imran Khan Cancer Appeal (IKCA) raised £1.9 million during the month of Ramadan. Your donations in the holy month will ensure more cancer patients can be offered free treatment at Shaukat Khanum Memorial Cancer Hospital (SKMCH) in Lahore. It will also ensure that our new hospital in Peshwar will start admitting patients from December this year

But £1.9 million is just a fraction of our annual budget at SKMCH. The cost of treating a single cancer patient ranges from £3,500 (for Germ Cell Tumours) to £13,000 (for Chronic Lymphocytic Leukaemia). With that said, our Lahore hospital alone runs on an estimated £37million a year.

Cancer costs, and it is a disease that’s on the increase. So please, please keep supporting us, or sponsor one of our cancer patients. Together we’ve already proved that cancer isn’t incurable, and free cancer care in Pakistan isn’t impossible.

At Imran Khan Cancer Appeal (IKCA), we know that hope and high morale are vital for recovery, and so do our donors and supporters. In that vein, there’s no end to special occasions at Shaukat Khanum Memorial Cancer Hospital (SKMCH). Here are some of our highlights of the holy month:
