Comprehensive cover that balances everyday care and in-hospital protection

South Africans in KwaZulu-Natal need health insurance that protects against high hospital bills while keeping routine healthcare accessible and affordable. Affinity Health offers combined plan options that bring day-to-day benefits together with in-hospital protection, designed for young professionals, families with children and retirees who want predictable monthly budgeting and strong clinical access.

What a comprehensive combined plan delivers

• Day-to-day cover: GP consultations, basic dentistry, optometry network access and acute medicines where included by the plan option.
• Hospital cover: In-hospital admissions, theatre and ward fees, approved clinician fees and scans or procedures carried out during a hospital admission.
• Support services: Remote consultations with a healthcare practitioner and Emergency Medical Response coordination where applicable.

Who should consider this type of cover

• Young professionals wanting routine GP access and protection against major incidents.
• Families with children who need regular immunisations, GP visits and hospital protection for unplanned events.
• Retirees seeking straightforward hospital protection with limited day-to-day benefits.

Affordability, provider access and selecting the right option

Affinity Health focuses on making private health cover accessible across South Africa. In KwaZulu-Natal, choose plan options that match your household needs and budget. Consider how often you visit a GP, whether you require regular dental or optical care, and the level of in-hospital protection you want for unexpected events.

Practical selection steps

• Inventory routine needs: estimate annual GP visits, dental check-ups and eyewear replacements for your household.
• Decide hospital protection level: prioritise higher in-hospital limits if you prefer lower out-of-pocket exposure for surgery or admissions.
• Compare plan options and the provider network to ensure local hospital and clinician access in KwaZulu-Natal.
