Shaukat Khanum Memorial Hospital
Shaukat Khanum Memorial Hospital and Cancer Research Center (SKMCH&RC) is a 'state-of-the-art' Cancer treatment and Research center in Pakistan, a project of Shaukat Khanum memorial Trust (SKMT). It is presently a one-of-its-kind facility in Pakistan but there are plans to inaugurate other facilities of the same standard in other parts of the country. SKMCH&RC is the brainchild of Imran Khan, the cricketing legend, who is dubbed to have engineered Pakistan to its maiden victory in the final of the Cricket World Cup back in 1992. The inspiration is said to have come from the death of Mrs. Shaukat Khanum, Imran's mother, who died due to cancer.

 We needed your support then and we need your support ever more now. More than Rs. 2 billion are required annually to run the Hospital. Almost 50% of our revenue is collected from selling Hospital services. The rest comes from Zakat and generous donations from well-wishers all over the world. We were able to launch SKMCH & RC because we had your support. I sincerely hope that I can look forward to your continued support to help keep the Hospital running and providing hope to those victims of cancer who have no other hope for treatment. Yours faithfully, Imran Khan |

Fundraising
Imran Khan raised most of the funds for this noble cause through public appeals and fundraisers. His first nation-wide appeal was at a match between India and Pakistan, in 1989 at the Gaddafi Stadium Lahore, he raised Rs. 2,902,600. The 1992 World Cup win under Imran's captaincy helped in the fundraising efforts. Half a million pounds were collected in six weeks and Imran himself donated 85,000 pounds out of his own prize money. In 1994 Imran Khan raised a massive campaign in-order to raise funds for the project. He visited 27 cities within Pakistan and mobilized students by visiting their schools. Over a million donors pitched in, everyone from ordinary citizens to the rich and famous.
