The Chinese community in New Zealand is rallying hard to raise funds to buy desperately needed medical supplies for those back in the motherland.
Just over $41,000 has been raised in the past seven days on a fundraising page on Givealittle, which was started with the goal of helping hospitals in China.
Community leader Dr Jacky Lam, founder of Smile Dental clinics, said the funds raised would help buy face masks, gloves, protective suits and other medical supplies for doctors on the front line.
