FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE
It
is estimated that about 150,000 new cancer cases are diagnosed in
Pakistan each year. Shaukat Khanum Memorial Cancer Hospital &
Research Center was built with the mission of providing
state-of-the-art diagnostic and therapeutic facilities for cancer
patients irrespective of their ability to pay. Our resources however,
allow us to accept only a fraction of this number for treatment.
Therefore, the Hospital has to prudently manage its resources by
accepting those cases that benefit the most from treatment. Based on
this we have established medical guidelines on which we screen patients
for acceptance for treatment at the hospital. Since the hospital has
limited capacity, these guidelines are subject to change. There are
four broad principles which govern these guidelines on which patients
are accepted for supported treatment at SKMCH and they are:
- Patients who are diagnosed with cancer or have any indication of having cancer
- Patients whose cancer is at a curable stage
- Patients who are physically capable of withstanding cancer treatment
- Patients who have not been previously treated for cancer
For
this purpose, Walk-In clinics have been established in Lahore, Karachi,
and Peshawar to screen patients and accept them for treatment on
financial support at SKM. Patients are seen on a first come first
served basis at these three locations. If you are interested in getting
financially supported treatment at SKM, or if you have any questions,
please contact any of these three locations:
