The telethon transmission of Geo TV (that lasted for three-and-a-half hours) with Indian film star Amir Khan and Pakistani cricketer Imran Khan made a great contribution for the cause of Shaukat Khanum Memorial Cancer Hospital, raising a total of Rs 80 million.

The two chief guests-Amir Khan and Imran Khan-discussed important issues at this unique programme, and a number of people from different countries, including Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, the United States and Dubai, made phone calls and paid glowing tributes to Amir Khan and Imran Khan for their devotion to the cause of treating cancer patients. These telephone callers announced their donations for Shaukat Khanum Memorial Cancer Hospital.
