In view of the large number of poor cancer patients of Karachi and Rural areas of Sindh and Baluchistan being referred for management of cancer and allied diseases at the Karachi Institute of Radiotherapy and Nuclear Medicine KIRAN, an active welfare society is essentially required.

Although this institute provides specialized consultations and treatment facilities like radiations Oncology, endoscopies and comprehensive laboratory facilities.

However it is very difficult for this institute to provide anti-cancer drugs and other medicine like pain killers due to paucity of funds.

In most of the cases, poor cancer patients are unable to go with the financial constraints and they are compelled to
discontinue the treatment.
