This is more than the total population of the Isle of Man. With one blow they have lost more than everyone living on the Island .

Dr Khan, alive to the needs of his countrymen, and knowing the existing problems on the ground, from family friends and hospital reports, decided to raise monies and instituted a relief appeal that started on Manx Radio and snowballed out of all expectations, with the backing, the generosity and pure humanity of the Isle of Man population.

Dr Khan's appeal reached all those who during his five years on the Island benefited from his expertise, care and concern for the Manx Diabetic.

They in turn, responded to the necessity of his countrymen, and his Island friends rallied to his cause.

Dr Khan explained that his mail bag has been extraordinary, and the comments expressed in the thousands of letters he has received have shown him that he was not alone, and that his many patients and friends did not take him for granted, but were grateful for him being on the Island .

Like he was there for them in their time of need, they had stood up to be counted in his hour of distress.

At the time of the hand over, in London , to the charity of his choice, Edhi International Foundation UK he and his wife Zarmina were able to present them with £32,768.00 on behalf of the Manx people.
