Oral Cancer Surgery Unit
Skilled Hands, Lifesaving Precision
Oral cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related deaths in men and the second most common cancer in women in Pakistan. The increasing consumption of pan, gutka, and chalia has led to a surge in oral cancer cases, making early diagnosis and treatment essential. In response to this alarming trend, PEBS Hospital proudly inaugurated Pakistan’s first entirely free Oral Cancer Surgery Unit in March 2023, ensuring access to life-saving surgical interventions for those who cannot afford treatment.
Over the past two years, PEBS Hospital has successfully performed 200+ free oral cancer surgeries, offering a ray of hope to countless patients.
To further promote awareness, the PEBS Marathon Team, led by Dr. Jahanzeb Mughal (Head of Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery) , actively participates in global marathons, spreading awareness about oral cancer prevention and advocating for a tobacco-free society.
Overall, the free Oral Cancer Surgery Unit is a beacon of hope for many individuals suffering from oral cancer, offering them access to critical treatment that might otherwise be out of reach.
