Almost £9,000 has been raised for charity in honour of a "gentle giant" Rainham GP who died after contracting Covid.
Dr Abdul-Razaq Abdullah, 68, died in December at Queen's Hospital, Romford, where he spent a month suffering from the virus.
The father-of-five worked with the NHS for more than 30 years after coming to the country from Iraq in 1985.
He worked first as a doctor at the former Oldchurch Hospital, Romford, before establishing his own GP surgery at Rainham Health Centre in Upminster Road South.
His daughter Ayat said being a GP "meant the world to him".
