Shaukat Khanum Memorial Trust Chairman Imran Khan has said the cancer treatment at SKMCH is ten times cheaper than abroad.
He made these remarks while addressing the gathering at SKMCH’s second fund-raising Iftar dinner at Expo Centre in Lahore on Thursday.
He said, “As much as SKMCH provides free treatment to poor cancer patients, the paying patients too are getting international standard cancer treatment at the hospital 10 times less than the cost of treatment for similar level of treatment in UK, US and Europe.”
