Shaukat Khanum at York University
A student-led chapter standing behind Shaukat Khanum Memorial Cancer Hospital & Research Centre—where over 75% of cancer patients across Pakistan receive world-class care completely free of charge.
Our Mission
No patient turned away because they cannot pay.
خدمتِ خلق ہمارا عزم
In 1994, Imran Khan founded Shaukat Khanum Memorial Cancer Hospital in Lahore in memory of his mother. At a time when cancer treatment was out of reach for most families in Pakistan, the hospital set out to treat every patient with the exact same clinical standard—regardless of their ability to pay.
Today, Shaukat Khanum serves patients in Lahore and Peshawar, with Pakistan's largest cancer hospital rising in Karachi. More than 75% of patients receive chemotherapy, surgery, radiation, and diagnostics completely free.
Here at York University, our chapter brings students together across Keele and Glendon—in partnership with CERF Canada—to raise awareness, build community, and support that mission from Toronto.
