The Chinese community is to benefit from a new double-pronged SARS information campaign.

"The Waitemata District Health Board is a forerunner of the provision of health services for Asian communities," according to National Party Ethnic Affairs spokesperson Pansy Wong, who is also the patron of the Foundation.
"The Board's involvement is a credit to CEO Dr Dwayne Crombie and Sue Lim from the Asian Health Service, their partnership will strengthen our foundation's capability and credibility.
