LAHORE : The Shaukat Khanum Memorial Trust (SKMT) on Saturday raised a record breaking Rs240 million at an Iftar-dinner in the provincial capital, as part of its annual Zakat campaign.
This event, the second of two planned Iftars in the provincial capital, surpassed the amount of Rs180 million raised at the same event last year, reflecting the unwavering support of Pakistan’s people.
The event featured special guest Hareem Farooq, a prominent TV and film actress, who described Shaukat Khanum as “more than a hospital - it’s an inspiration.” Mrs. Aleema Khanum, Member of the SKMT Board of Governors, was also in attendance. Shaukat Khanum Memorial Cancer Hospital and Research Centre (SKMCH&RC) Chief Executive Officer Dr Faisal Sultan delivered a presentation on the latest updates about SKMCH&RC, while cancer survivor Farwa Noman, celebrating five years since completing her treatment, performed a heartfelt naat recitation. Dr Sultan said “Every contribution matters. We have a budget of Rs38bn this year and we need your support this Ramazan, and beyond, to help continue our mission of fighting cancer."
