Shaukat Khanum Memorial Cancer Hospital and Research Centre is the only cancer hospital in Pakistan that offers free cancer treatment (“FOCP’s Ameera Fund donates for cancer patients at Shaukat Khanum Hospital in Pakistan,” July 11, Gulf Today).

A decent donation by Friends Of Cancer Patients’s Ameera Fund to the Shaukat Khanum Memorial Cancer Hospital and Research Centre will be a huge support to the hospital. The hospital is doing its best in the country.
