After already launching two Shaukat Khanum Cancer Hospitals in Lahore and Peshawar in the past, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf’s chairman Imran Khan, who is also Chairman Board of Governors Shaukat Khanum Memorial Trust, will lay the foundation stone of the Karachi hospital branch today.
A few days ago, Imran Khan tweeted this:

This led to speculations about what the project was but most people familiar with the former’s cricketer turned politician’s philanthropic efforts guessed that it had something to do with Karachi.
Details were then promptly revealed by the official Shaukat Khanum Twitter account later on:

Ground Breaking of SMKCH Karachi
The ground-breaking ceremony of Shaukat Khanum Memorial Cancer Hospital and Research Centre in Karachi will be held today on 29th December.
A statement of Shaukat Khanum Memorial Trust said:
“The construction of a comprehensive cancer diagnosis and treatment facility in Karachi will not only provide the most modern cancer treatment to the people of Sindh, but will also help raise healthcare standards and provide training and employment opportunities in the region.”
The agenda will be the same as the other two branches, to help poor and needy cancer patients who couldn’t otherwise afford the treatments by providing them with comprehensive cancer care.
20-acres land has been allotted at DHA City, the heart of the city, by the DHA management for its establishment.
According to the Shaukat Khanum Memorial Trust management, the entire cost 0 from laying down the ground work to finishing touches – will cost around 4.5 billion rupees.
Almost all of the money has been raised through donations from all across the globe, for the noble cause.
The construction of the hospital is divided into various phases, and the first phase will take about 2 and a half years to complete. The state-of-the-art facility will be fully operational on 29th December, 2019 – exactly three years from now.
Since the inauguration of the first hospital, millions of patients have been treated and cured and 75 percent of them were not required to pay, as their treatment was provided free of cost.
