Qureshi Makes Time For Those Less Fortunate In Pakistan

Aisam-Ul-Haq Qureshi continued his support for the Shaukat Khanum Memorial Cancer Hospital in Lahore, Pakistan, by spending the day visiting the Children’s Ward. Qureshi has been a frequent guest at the hospital over the years and has been instrumental in fundraising for the hospital’s cancer research and development departments.

“It really does put life into perspective,” said Qureshi. “All it takes is a little bit of time to help brighten the lives of these children.”

“Patients suffering from cancer at Shaukat Khanum Memorial Cancer Hospital and Research Centre don’t just need physical and financially supported treatment, they also need psychological support from all of us as they struggle between life and death,” said Naila Khan, director of marketing for Shaukat Khanum. “Aisam has been a great supporter of the cause and ensures he visits us each time he returns to Pakistan. His support means a lot to us.”

Qureshi, who was recently voted Pakistan’s Most Stylish Sportsman, is aware of his responsibility to those less fortunate.

“We (ATP players) have such a wonderful life on the tour,” said Qureshi. “If my status as a professional tennis player can help make a difference for the children and families suffering from this terrible disease, then please use me as much as you want.”
