SINGAPORE: Singapore will activate both the Public Health Preparedness Clinic (PHPC) Scheme and the Haze Subsidy Scheme (HSS) from Oct 12 to help residents with their haze-related medical needs.
The Health Ministry (MOH) said participating clinics and all polyclinics would provide children, the elderly, and lower- to middle-income Singaporeans with affordable care for haze-related conditions upon activation of the schemes.
"All Singapore Citizens will be eligible for the HSS at the polyclinics.
"The conditions covered under the HSS are allergic rhinitis, asthma, bronchitis, conjunctivitis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, upper respiratory tract infections and their complications," it said in a statement on Sunday.
