Really recommendable. If only more would come forward and contribute to welfare of society. Cancer treatment is a costly affair despite hugh subsidies provided by government. Can you throw some light on how IK is able to sustain providing free treatment for so long?
SKMCH 65% funds come from within the country and 35% from outside the country...
A cancer patient costs from 1 lac to 1.5 million.
SKMCH has done progressive investments in California and UAE in real estate, further it has outdoors and laboratories operating throughout the country from where it completes its running costs.
250 crore is a year's budget, so far SKMCH is not able to gather enough funds to become a Trust. therefore, half of its funds are gathered by Imran Khan and his SKMCH teams, during Ramadan he visits UK and USA etc, arranges dinners where people generously donate for SKMCH. similarly his PR also helps him get charity all over the world... further during the Eid SKMCH collects hides of animals, it has Mobile phone SMS service where one can donate nominal amount... then Imran conducts "dinners" in regular days or "Aftar" in Ramadan throughout Pakistan where each dinner costs a 1000 to unlimited amount to buy entry ticket....
about 150 crore is collected through these means, rest by SKMCH's progressive investments...it is struggling to be self sufficient to meet ends so far... therefore, Imran has to remain active fund raiser for SKMCH....
help by indian celebrities is also appreciated, many of your celebrities are regular donors to SKMCH.
