Charity: PSO donates Rs7.5m to cancer hospital

KARACHI:

Pakistan State Oil has donated Rs7.5 million to a hospital being built by the Cancer Foundation to treat cancer patients at subsidised rates.

This donation was made by the corporate social responsibility department of the oil marketing company that helps projects in the fields of education, health and social development. This donation aims to show the faith that the entire corporate sector has in the project. On behalf of his board of directors and thousands of cancer patients, Cancer Foundation chairperson Maqsood Ansari thanked the PSO for the donation.

This 100-bed cancer hospital is being made on a not-for-profit model in Gulshan-e-Iqbal where patients will only have to take care of their basic expenses. The patients will not have to pay for surgeries.
