Despite Imran Khan being incarcerated for over 900 days, the Shaukat Khanum Hospital and Research Centre raised an impressive Rs 20 billion in donations during 2025.
The remarkable fundraising achievement was highlighted by senior journalist Hamid Mir. He said it reflects the strong public trust and emotional connection people maintain with the hospital.
The funds will support ongoing medical treatments, research projects, and expansion plans. The hospital has been providing free and subsidized healthcare to thousands of patients across Pakistan.
Despite Imran Khan’s political challenges, the institution continues to attract donations from citizens, philanthropists, and corporate sponsors. Experts say this demonstrates that charitable giving in Pakistan often transcends political divisions.
The hospital’s administration confirmed that most of the donations came from recurring contributors who have supported the institution for many years. Some donors also responded to emergency campaigns launched for specific treatments and medical research.
Health analysts noted that Despite Imran Khan’s absence from active leadership roles, public confidence in the hospital remains high. They credit the hospital’s transparent management and consistent record of delivering quality healthcare.
Shaukat Khanum Hospital was founded by Imran Khan in 1994 with a mission to provide cancer care to underprivileged patients. Over the years, it has become one of Pakistan’s most trusted medical institutions.
The hospital also emphasized that all funds are carefully audited and used strictly for patient care and research purposes. Officials said the 2025 fundraising milestone will help the institution expand its services and reach more patients in need.
Observers say that this level of public support highlights the enduring legacy of the hospital and its role in Pakistani society. The fundraising achievement demonstrates that charitable institutions can thrive despite Imran Khan’s political and legal challenges.
