  "summary": "Singapore is set to roll out haze subsidies at General Practitioner (GP) clinics and polyclinics starting October 12, in response to deteriorating air quality caused by transboundary haze. The Ministry of Health (MOH) will subsidize treatment costs for eligible Singaporeans, with fees capped at S$10 for most individuals and S$5 for certain seniors. The subsidy scheme, which was last activated in 2015, aims to coordinate primary care responses and provide subsidised care during health alerts and emergencies, including haze and COVID-19.",
