The cost of a PET scan in Pakistan typically ranges from Rs 40,000 to Rs 60,000 at most facilities, but can be free at certain facilities.
According to a 2017 report, PET/CT scans, which are expensive diagnostic tools for cancer patients, are offered free of cost at the SIUT (Sindh Institute of Urology and Transplantation) Mehrunnisa Medical Center in Karachi. The report also mentions that there are only approximately 5 PET/CT machines in Pakistan. This makes access potentially limited depending on location and availability. The normal cost at other facilities, as mentioned in the reference, is between Rs 40,000 to Rs 60,000.
