A young cancer patient from Balochistan asked Prime Minister Imran Khan when a cancer hospital will be constructed in the province.
In a short video message, the young patient said that his name is Shakarullah and he is suffering from cancer.
“When will a cancer hospital be made in Balochistan,” he asks.
Meanwhile, on Monday, the premier tweeted about the construction of the next Shaukat Khanam Memorial Hospital (SKMH) for cancer in Karachi.
“The target of @SKMCH for the year 2019 is Rs. 13 billion ($ 20 m), half of which will need to be met through your donations. I hope you will continue to support us in the mission to save the lives of poor cancer patients in Pakistan who can otherwise not afford treatment,” he said.
