Practical combined medical insurance designed for Soweto

A combined medical insurance plan brings day-to-day care together with hospital protection in a single, budget-friendly package. For Soweto residents - young professionals, growing families, and retirees - a combined plan can reduce out-of-pocket surprises by covering routine visits, basic outpatient needs and major in-hospital events. Affinity Health specialises in long-term, affordable health insurance options that prioritise clear benefits and straightforward access to private care.

What a combined plan covers

• Day-to-day benefits: GP consultations, basic dental and optical benefits through our provider networks, and acute medicine allowances where included.
• Hospital benefits: In-hospital admissions, theatre and ward fees, approved in-hospital procedures and scans.
• Support services: Virtual consultations for immediate clinical advice and Emergency Medical Response for serious incidents.
