“SKMT Karachi will be twice the size of Lahore & will also have state of the art cancer equipment.”
It is pertinent to mention here that the prime minister broke ground for the hospital, located in Karachi’s Defence Housing Authority (DHA) area in 2016.
The Shaukat Khanum Memorial Trust, established in the memory of PM Imran Khan’s mother who succumbed to cancer in 1985, has established a number of hospitals, laboratories, and research centres all over Pakistan.
