Budget-friendly combined health cover for the Northern Cape

If you live in the Northern Cape and are looking for an affordable combination health plan that balances routine care with in-hospital protection, Affinity Health offers plan options tailored to South African households and professionals. A combined plan provides day-to-day benefits for GP visits, basic dentistry and acute medicines alongside in-hospital protection for surgery, theatre and ward fees. This approach helps manage monthly healthcare spending while protecting against large, unexpected bills.

What a combination plan includes

• Day-to-day benefits: GP consultations, basic dentistry and optometry access, plus acute medicines for short-term conditions.
• Hospital benefits: In-hospital admissions, theatre and ward fees, approved in-hospital procedures and related inpatient costs.
• Support services: Remote consultations with a healthcare practitioner and Emergency Medical Response when required.

Who in the Northern Cape benefits most

• Young professionals who need reliable private access for routine care and protection from major incidents.
• Families with children who use frequent GP visits, vaccinations and basic dental care.
• Retirees seeking dependable in-hospital protection alongside limited out-of-hospital services.
