Singapore to roll out haze subsidies at GP clinics, polyclinics from Oct 12

Singapore will activate its Public Health Preparedness Clinic (PHPC) Scheme and Haze Subsidy Scheme (HSS) from Monday (Oct 12), Health Minister Ong Ye Kung said on Sunday, as more people seek treatment for respiratory issues amid prolonged haze and the Influenza A season.

Eligible citizens will pay S$0, S$5 or S$10 for treatment at participating clinics, depending on their subsidy tier.

Mr Ong also urged those with non-urgent respiratory issues to seek treatment at PHPCs instead of hospital emergency departments. #singapore #sgnews #haze
