Combined health protection designed for Eastern Cape households

Finding the best combined health plan in South Africa - Eastern Cape means balancing routine healthcare needs with meaningful in-hospital protection. A combined plan bundles day-to-day benefits (GP visits, basic dentistry, optometry access and acute medicines) with hospital cover for admissions, theatre and ward fees. Affinity Health focuses on budget-friendly plan options that keep private healthcare within reach for young professionals, families with children and retirees across the province.

Core benefits of a combined plan

• Day-to-day care: GP consultations, basic dental care and optometry network access under visit or benefit limits.
• In-hospital protection: Cover for admissions, theatre fees, ward accommodation and approved in-hospital procedures.
• Remote consultations: Access to remote consultations with a healthcare practitioner for minor, same-day concerns and follow-ups.
