Support a Patient with Your Zakat

Shaukat Khanum Hospital cares for thousands of patients who rely on your Zakat. Last year we were able to provide free cancer treatment to 75% of our patients through Zakat funds.

Your Zakat helped us cover all diagnostic and therapeutic hospital fees, which would have racked up bills that Pakistan's poor couldn't dream of settling.

Ali Ahmad is one of the many children who is growing up battling cancer at Shaukat Khanum Hospital. With the will of Allah, his life has been saved through your Zakat, the efforts of hospital staff and the prayers and sacrifice of his family.

Your Zakat allowed us to give Ali's parents hope and consolation in the knowledge that their child was receiving the best treatment available, without the burden of its unaffordable cost. Read More

Why pay Zakat to a cancer hospital?

It was only through the Zakat of Muslim donors worldwide, that Imran Khan was able to realise his dream of free cancer care for Pakistan's poorest, two decades ago. It's only with your Zakat that we are able to continue this work every year. Without it, we'd be forced to turn away thousands patients who have no chance of recovery in a country with no free national health service.
