Jia posted on Facebook Sunday (June 13) about the origin of her HFNC machine drive and the support she had gotten. She said she had received a message from a relative of the nursing director at a southern Taiwan hospital stating that every hospital in the country was in desperate need of HFNC machines, which cost NT$270,000 (US$9,310) a unit.
