Cancer knows no age.
Around 8,000 children in Pakistan under the age of 18 are diagnosed with cancer every year. That’s 8,000 young lives affected; 8,000 mothers praying they don’t have to bury their child.
We believe that no child should die of cancer because they can’t afford treatment. We want to give them a fighting chance at life by providing the best care possible and giving hope where there was none before.
You can help us provide life-saving treatment to these children by donating now. Your donation will help us cover the cost of chemotherapy, radiation therapy and surgery for these kids who would otherwise go without treatment. At Indus Hospital, our patients do not pay a single dollar for treatment. Treatment is free. And it's all thanks to you.
“...And whoever saves [a life] - it is as if he had saved mankind entirely…” (Quran, 5:32)
Watch the story of a mother who had to go through one of the most frightening moments in her life after her 4 year old son was diagnosed with Cancer.
Her son's name is Ayan. He was 4 years old. In the beginning, he had fever. Then it started recurring every 3-4 days. It continued for 2 months. She took him to the general physician and then to a child specialist. After a blood test was done, she found out that Ayan has blood cancer. She was referred to the Indus hospital and some tests were done.
That very same night he had to do a blood transfusion because he was short of blood. She was so worried about how she would be able to arrange blood and she asked the doctors how she could arrange blood.
The doctors said: "Once he is admitted to the hospital, now he is out child. We will take care of him. You just stay here and take care of him. Everything else is our responsibility." She didn't know how they managed to get blood to Ayan in an hour.
She was in the hospital with Ayan for a month and she couldn't forget it. She said: "Parents can't forget it. We see the ads and see these children in ads where they ask for Zakat and donations. We watch them, cry, and pray for them and just change the TV channel. But when God puts us in the same situation, then we realized their pain and how much they need our donations."

The Problem.
21% of the population is below the poverty line: Access to quality healthcare is a luxury middle and lower class families can’t afford. The only way out is either by selling everything they have to afford the treatments or simply leave their loved ones to give in to the illness.
Could you imagine the helplessness these families experience? Affordable healthcare is a basic human right.
Many families sell all that they have to afford whatever treatment they can for their children. Others have no choice but to leave their loved ones to give in to their illness.

Meet Ayesha.
Ayesha was completely fine, until one day she developed limp. At just five years old, Ayesha was diagnosed with bone cancer. In the process of removing a tumor, She lost her leg and spent a year being treated with chemotherapy and her parents feared she would never walk again. At the end of her treatment, a cancer-free Ayesha received a prosthetic leg, and is now able to walk and attend school like any other child.
There are thousands of children like Ayan and Ayesha who are unable to receive treatment due to unaffordable medical costs.
IHN provides quality care, free of cost. But seeing a child cancer-free is priceless.

What is childhood cancer?
Childhood cancer (also called pediatric cancer) typically refers to a cancer that is found in children and teens, and sometimes young adults. It is not just one disease. There are many types, which can be found in different places throughout the body.

Does cancer treatment save lives?
Cancer treatments do in fact regularly save lives. However, one of the challenges of a cancer diagnosis is the need for continued treatment making your support all the more necessary for those who have nowhere to turn.
Is my donation Zakat eligible?
Yes! Approximately 70% of our recipients are Zakat Eligible.
What is the average cost of cancer treatment?
You can cover the entire treatment for a child for $5000 USD!
How is my Zakat money spent? Who is it spent on?
The Zakat donations that we receive from our donors are distributed among Zakat eligible patients for whichever treatment they are receiving from Indus Health Network facilities.
What are your guidelines for distributing Zakat Donations?
The Indus Hospital provides quality care without any discrimination, free of cost through the support of your Zakat and Donations.
With the help of reputable Sharia Scholars, The Indus Hospital (TIH) has developed a criterion to ascertain if Zakat is applicable to a certain individual. Whenever a patient visits the Indus Hospital, he/she goes through the assessment with TIH’s welfare officer to determine if the patient is eligible for Zakat or not.
Once the recipient of Zakat is identified, their MR number is marked to signify that the patient’s treatment should be supported from Zakat account. The patient is requested to sign a declaration granting the Indus Hospital permission to collect Zakat on their behalf and to use that Zakat to sponsor the treatment of his/her and/or other patients or hospital requirements. Once the patient is discharged, hospital generates an internal bill and sends it to the Zakat Committee for settlement.
