Accessing essential medicines for short-term health issues-such as infections, allergies, or minor injuries-should be manageable for all residents of Polokwane. Acute medication cover ensures that when a doctor prescribes medication for a sudden illness or injury, the cost doesn’t add an extra burden. Affinity Health offers budget-friendly health insurance options that include acute medication benefits for individuals, families, young professionals, and retirees.
Acute medicines are prescribed to treat conditions expected to last a short time, in contrast to ongoing or chronic illnesses. Examples include antibiotics for infections, pain relief after minor injuries, anti-inflammatory drugs, and medication for flu or stomach bugs. This benefit helps Polokwane residents stay healthy and productive, catching illnesses early before they lead to larger problems.
Many Polokwane residents rely on private pharmacies for prescribed medicines. Without acute medication cover, these costs can add up quickly-especially for larger families or those managing frequent infections during flu season.
Day-to-day and combined plans from Affinity Health are designed to provide acute medication benefits. Cover options are available based on age group and medical needs, making it easier to access essential healthcare in Polokwane. For details on how day-to-day cover supports acute medicines, see the day-to-day cover overview.
| Plan Type | Monthly Premium (Adult) | Acute Medication Benefit |
|---|---|---|
| Day-to-Day | R779* | Prescribed acute medicines subject to annual limits and provider network |
| Combined | R1,127* | Includes day-to-day acute medication and major event protection |
*Prices are examples for adults aged 18-54. Children and seniors have unique rates, and family discounts may apply. Refer to the latest premium guide for additional details.
