 When a child gets cancer in Pakistan, their treatment options are sometimes determined by their family’s income level. But families of all income groups can find treatment at Indus Hospital and Health Network, which operates the largest pediatric oncology services unit in Pakistan.

Afifa Batool is the head of marketing and communications at Indus. She says there are certain cultural challenges that cut across income levels. People may make judgments about patients that last long after treatment concludes. Indus works to address these cultural challenges in addition to treating patients medically.

Afifa says the work of Indus is made easier by collaborating with other hospitals and foundations outside of Pakistan through the St. Jude Global Alliance.
