Where Your Money Goes
Medical Care
Medical Care
The bulk of our spending goes into cancer care.
At Shaukat Khanum Memorial Cancer Hospital, patients who can’t afford treatment are offered support from the outset. We cover everything from the cost of medication and pathology to chemotherapy and surgery.
Our medical care funds also cover the cost of medical appliances used for treatment and diagnosis. And of course, it covers the wages of our medical staff, who provide vital care.
Operating Costs
Operating Costs
14% Of our annual expenditure is spent on operating costs. This covers the wages of our finance and admin staff, without whom we simply couldn’t function.
They are responsible for running our hospital and clinics. They are also in charge of processing donations and making sure your money gets to where it’s most needed so that it is spent properly.
We don’t deduct anything from your Zakat and Sadaqah for operating costs. These go directly to helping patients. In addition to this, we try to limit the amount deducted from your donations whenever we can through revenue received from our hospital diagnostic services and other means. You can help us do this by allowing us to reclaim Gift Aid on your behalf if you are a UK taxpayer.
Maintenance and Repairs

Fundraising
Fundraising
4% Of our annual expenditure helps to fund our fundraising work.
It covers the cost of our digital promotions; website maintenance; direct mail and emails. In effect, 4% ensures that we remain connected with our volunteers, and are always able to keep our donors informed. It also covers expenses associated with promo materials and targeted charity events.
Fundraising is vital to our work at Imran Khan Cancer Appeal. Through fundraising, we can carry on raising awareness of cancer in Pakistan and collecting funds that will save more lives.
