Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) Chairman and founder of the Shaukat Khanum Cancer Hospital, Imran Khan, on Sunday thanked Chief of Army Staff General Raheel Shareef for “granting land” for the construction of the cancer hospital in “DHA Karachi”.

According to DawnNews, a 20 acre plot in Karachi's Defence Housing Authority City – located near the Karachi-Hyderabad Super Highway – has been allotted for the Shaukat Khanum hospital.

An agreement for the purpose was reached four days ago between the DHA administration and the hospital.

Imran Khan's cancer hospital trust has already established two hospitals – one in Lahore and the other in Peshawar.

The Shaukat Khanum Hospital in Peshawar, inaugurated in December last year, was constructed on land gifted by the ANP-led government in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
