The Aga Khan University Hospital (AKUH) and the Patients Behbud Society for AKUH (PBS) have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Novartis Pakistan to provide access to quality targeted therapy treatment to cancer patients that lack financial resources and opportunities. . Speaking at the ceremony, Dr. Farhat Abbas, CEO, AKUH, said, “AKUH endeavours to provide access to our health care services for needy patients who may not, on account of financial constraints, be able to afford our regular Hospital charges. Patients who receive financial support receive the same level of care as all other patients. Last year alone we spent more than PKR 5.8 billion on welfare programmes. Our oncologists and other experts aim to provide the best possible treatment to patients and we plan to increase our capacity to treat more patients.”
