Quality health cover for Stellenbosch - balance everyday care with in-hospital protection

Living and working in Stellenbosch means access to good private healthcare, but you still need a plan that keeps routine care affordable while protecting you from large hospital bills. Affinity Health offers plan options that combine day-to-day benefits and in-hospital protection so you can manage both small, regular costs and unexpected events under one budget-friendly arrangement.

What a combined plan delivers

Choosing the right combined plan for your situation

Selecting the best option depends on family size, ages and how you use healthcare. Young families often prioritise stronger day-to-day benefits for frequent child care, while older adults may choose higher in-hospital limits. Follow these steps to choose with confidence.

Step-by-step selection guide

• Estimate routine needs: count expected GP visits, dental check-ups and eyewear replacements per year.
• Consider major-event protection: think about possible surgeries or hospital admissions and desired in-hospital limits.
