Help support Khair Global Initiative's campaign to rebuild an Oncology Department in Skardu, Gilgit-Baltistan, Pakistan.  There has been up to a 25-fold increase in the number of cancer cases in this region.  Unfortunately, there is no infrastructure in place to help these patients.  The current facility is dilapidated, and in disrepair.  Patient care areas are rudimentary; there is not even a restroom for patients receiving treatment or a proper area to prepare their chemo.  If patients have complications, they need to be admitted to a general medical inpatient ward, where healthcare providers are not aware of the special needs of cancer patients, and place them next to others with serious communicable infections like TB. Frequently, these patients are required to share a single hospital bed with each other. Currently, the unit serves 8-10 patients daily. With our improvements, this facility will be able to serve up to 30 patients a day, preventing crucial delays in treatment.  This center will serve five districts and over 1.5 million patients.  Every day, patients and their families travel long distances seeking treatment.  Many have already exhausted their savings, sold livestock, land, jewelry or other valuables, and turned to relatives and friends for financial support just to afford cancer care. The burden of a cancer diagnosis extends far beyond the illness itself.  Everyone undergoing chemotherapy deserves dignity and compassionate care close to home. Please do your part by donating and sharing this campaign to help these deserving patients.  Your donation will help create a better treatment environment for some of the most vulnerable patients in the region.
