Why choose the best combined health plan in Cape Town?

Finding the best combined health plan Cape Town residents can rely on means balancing routine out-of-hospital care with in-hospital protection. A combined Health Insurance plan bundles day-to-day benefits - like GP consultations, basic dentistry and acute medicines - with hospital cover for admissions, theatre and ward fees and approved clinician costs. Affinity Health focuses on budget-friendly plans that provide clear, reliable protection for individuals, families with children, young professionals and retirees across South Africa.

Core advantages of a combined plan

• One predictable monthly payment for routine care and in-hospital events.
• Quick access to private hospitals and approved clinicians for admitted care.
• Day-to-day benefits help avoid skipped GP visits and keep chronic conditions checked.
