Over the past decade, SKMCH&RC has established itself as a centre of excellence providing comprehensive care free of cost to thousands of indigent cancer patients. This pioneering, state-of-the-art hospital located in the heart of the Punjab was founded by Imran Khan, one of Pakistan's most illustrious cricketers. As a charitable institute, it is funded predominantly from the donations of friends and well-wishers from around the country and across the world. |

The inspiration to build the Hospital came from the misfortune and suffering of one individual, Shaukat Khanum, the mother of legendary captain of Pakistan's World Cup–winning cricket team, Imran Khan.
His mother's death and the personal experience of dealing with cancer in a loved one convinced him of the need for a state of the art cancer center with access to everyone, including those who could not otherwise afford the expensive care. The result was the Shaukat Khanum Memorial Cancer Hospital and Research Centre, in Lahore, the first and only cancer hospital of international standards in Pakistan, dedicated to providing first-class treatment of cancer to all its patients, irrespective of their ability to pay.

The miracle of Shaukat Khanum Memorial Cancer Hospital & Research Centre does not just lie in its
creation but the fact that it has been providing free treatment facilities to over 70% of its patients
since over a decade now. The institution has spent over Rs. 5 billion (US $ 80 million) in supporting
the treatment of thousands of indigent cancer patients. This has only been possible due to generous
donors and well-wishers who have supported the cause over the years. Let us trace back the footsteps
of history in an attempt to cover the times, events and people who have brought this Hospital to where
it stands today. |
