Practical combined health cover for Gqeberha households

A combined health plan bundles day-to-day care (GP visits, basic dentistry and acute medication) with in-hospital protection for surgery, theatre and ward costs. For individuals, young professionals, families with children and retirees in Gqeberha, this approach reduces the risk of paying large out-of-pocket bills while keeping routine care accessible.

What a combined plan typically includes

• Day-to-day benefits: GP consultations, selected basic dental and optometry access, and acute medicines when needed.
• Hospital benefits: Cover for in-hospital admissions, theatre procedures and approved in-hospital procedures.
• Support services: Remote consultations and emergency medical response coordination where included in the plan.

Affinity Health offers combined plan options that balance these needs for different age groups: standard adult plans for those aged 18-54, junior plans for children 0-17 and senior plans for 55+. Learn how combined options work and whether they suit your household on our Combined plan page.
