Health cover designed for Johannesburg budgets and life stages

Finding affordable complete health insurance in Johannesburg means balancing everyday care with protection against larger in-hospital costs. Affinity Health offers plan options that combine day-to-day benefits and hospital protection to suit young professionals, growing families, and retirees across Johannesburg suburbs.

What a complete plan typically includes

• Day-to-day benefits: GP consultations, basic dental and optometry access, and acute medicines through designated providers.
• Hospital protection: In-hospital admissions, theatre and ward fees, and approved clinician fees for treatments received in hospital.
• Support services: Remote consultations for minor concerns and Emergency Medical Response when a serious event occurs.

A combined approach avoids gaps between routine care and major medical events. For more on pairing routine care and in-hospital protection, see the combined plan overview on our site: Affinity Health - Combined Plan.
