Affordable day-to-day and hospital plan for Northern Cape residents

Finding a single, budget-friendly plan that covers everyday care and major in-hospital events helps households in the Northern Cape manage healthcare costs and access private treatment when it matters most. Affinity Health offers combined plan options that bring together day-to-day benefits (GP visits, basic dentistry and acute medicines) with hospital cover (admissions, theatre and ward fees, approved clinician fees while admitted) so you can protect your family with predictable monthly contributions.

What a combined day-to-day and hospital plan includes

• Day-to-day benefits: GP consultations, basic dental treatment, optical network access and acute medicines for short-term conditions.
• Hospital benefits: In-hospital admissions, theatre and ward costs, scans and procedures performed during hospital stays, and approved clinician fees while admitted.
• Support services: Remote consultations for minor concerns and Emergency Medical Response coordination when immediate action is required.

Who benefits most in the Northern Cape

• Young professionals seeking predictable monthly costs and fast access to private clinicians for routine care.
• Families with children who need regular GP visits, immunisation-related care and protection from unexpected hospital bills.
• Retirees looking for clear in-hospital protection alongside essential day-to-day services.

Affinity Health separates the main plan groups so you can select the right option for your household. Learn more about our combined plan structure and benefit focus on the combined plan page: Affinity Health - Combined Plan.

• Choose the combination that matches your household needs: stronger day-to-day benefits for families with young children, or higher hospital limits for those with elevated surgical risk.
• Select an excess level to manage monthly contributions while retaining core protection for major events.
• Check waiting periods and in-hospital definitions to understand when specific benefits apply.
