Affinity Health aims to make private primary healthcare within reach for all South Africans.

Choosing the right level of cover in Polokwane

Selecting the right plan depends on family size, ages and likely use of healthcare services. Young families commonly prioritise day-to-day benefits for regular child healthcare and GP visits, while older adults often place higher value on robust hospital protection for surgeries or serious admissions.

Step-by-step selection guide

• List expected routine needs: estimated GP visits, dental check-ups and eyewear replacements per year.
• Consider hospital risk: any planned procedures, chronic conditions or occupational risks in the household.
• Compare plan options: check combined versus separate day-to-day and hospital choices for overall monthly cost and coverage.
