Practical combined health cover for Gqeberha residents

If you live in Gqeberha and want dependable, budget-friendly protection for both routine care and hospital events, a combination health plan brings both elements together in one plan option. Affinity Health offers combined plans designed to make private health cover accessible for young professionals, families with children and retirees who need predictable monthly costs and reliable access to private healthcare practitioners and hospitals.

What a combination health plan includes

• Day-to-day benefits: GP consultations, basic dental and optometry care limits, and acute medicines, helping you manage routine health needs without large out-of-pocket spend.
• In-hospital protection: Coverage for admissions, theatre and ward fees, and approved in-hospital procedures to protect against major bills from accidents or serious illness.
• Support services: Remote consultations with a healthcare practitioner and assistance for authorised emergency medical response when needed.

Why choose combined cover in Gqeberha?

Combined cover reduces the chance that everyday care costs will be delayed or skipped while ensuring you have robust protection for hospital events. This balance is particularly valuable for families with young children who need frequent GP visits, for working professionals who want quick access to primary care, and for retirees who prioritise hospital protection without sacrificing routine access.

How Affinity Health supports affordable combined cover

• Clear benefit design so you know which services are covered in day-to-day and which fall under in-hospital protection.
• Budget-friendly plan options that let you choose an appropriate balance between routine benefits and hospital limits.
• Nationwide provider access; find participating healthcare practitioners and facilities quickly to plan your care.
