COVID-19: Response, Reflection and Resilient future for CALD communities

The coronavirus has had a major impact on New Zealanders from all walks of life. CALD communities have also had to struggle with this impact exacerbated by lack of understanding of the health system. However, there has been a great response from the relevant agencies.

The Pearl of the Islands Foundation has teamed up with the Umma Trust to organise an information session for ethnic communities to reflect on the health response over the pandemic and the way forward.

This will be an opportunity to hear from the Ministry of Health, a Local Member of Parliament, and the New Zealand Red Cross. This will be followed by a Q&A session. Speakers will be announced in due course.
