The Hospital, equipped with the latest medical machinery and qualified staff, is aimed at providing world class state-of-the-art treatment to cancer patients, irrespective of their ability to pay. The Hospital has already spent over Rs. 20 billion on free treatment of deserving cancer patients during the last 21 years. Hospital’s annual budget for the year 2016 is Rs. 8.7 billion; half of this is to be met from public donations and Zakat and the remaining half, from revenue generated from Hospital services. It is worth mentioning here that to provide cancer treatment and diagnostic facilities to the patients on their door step, Shaukat Khanum Memorial Cancer Hospital and Research Centre Peshawar has already opened its doors for the patients whereas land has been acquired to build a cancer hospital in Karachi as well.
For the collection of Zakat, the Hospital has already activated its accounts in local and foreign banks.
