Imran Khan Goes Home (May 22, 2013)

We are pleased to announce that this morning, Mr. Imran Khan was discharged home from Shaukat Khanum Memorial Cancer Hospital and Research Centre. Imran walked from his room on the third floor of the Hospital to the exit on the ground floor, unaided. As previously explained, Imran will continue to receive regular physiotherapy and will need to wear a spinal support for some weeks to come. Imran will gradually increase physical activity over the next few weeks with a return to his full functional capacity expected in approximately six to eight weeks. 

While leaving, Imran thanked all his friends, well-wishers and the millions of individuals all over the world who had offered their sympathy, prayers and support throughout his illness.

FELLOWSHIP IN PAEDIATRIC ONCOLOGY

Introduction:

SKMCH&RC is a comprehensive and modern cancer care facility fully equipped and staffed to treat all types of cancer. Close to 300 new paediatric cancer patients are registered annually. The hospital has a team of UK- and US-trained physicians who provide state of the art diagnostic, treatment and support facilities to its cancer patients. There is a multi- disciplinary approach to cancer treatment at the hospital. All Paediatric cancer patients are treated by teams of medical, radiation and surgical oncologists. The hospital is, therefore, ideally suited for a postgraduate training programme in Paediatric Oncology. We offer a unique learning experience that will prepare the selected candidates to become well trained, highly qualified paediatric oncologists of international standard. In addition, there is a strong emphasis on research, with a number of cancer treatment trials in progress at any time. Fellows will be trained in various aspects of Paediatric Oncology including in- and out-patient management of complex cancer patients, management of oncologic emergencies, radiation oncology, cancer radiology, supportive care and research methodology. The fellowship training period is 3 years.

Fellows who perform very well during their training may be offered an additional year of training at an affiliated institution in the US or the UK, which will be arranged by SKMCH&RC.

Fellows, who successfully complete the required training, including training abroad, will be eligible for appointment at a consultant level at SKMCH&RC.
