ISLAMABAD: A senior leader of the Afghan Taliban militant movement was recently treated at the Shaukat Khanum Memorial Cancer Hospital in Lahore, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf chairman and SKMCH founder Imran Khan said Thursday.

The PTI chairman made the confession in an exclusive interview with GEo News senior anchorperson Hamid Mir.

Speaking to Mir about the successes of the year 2015, Khan said that the inauguration of the Shaukat Khanum Cancer Hospital in Peshawar was one of his biggest achievements in the outgoing year.
