Secure the best comprehensive medical insurance for your needs

Choosing the best comprehensive medical insurance means finding a plan that covers routine out-of-hospital care and provides robust in-hospital protection without straining your monthly budget. Affinity Health specialises in straightforward, budget-friendly Health Insurance options designed for young professionals, families with children, and retirees across South Africa. Our approach focuses on clear benefit breakdowns, accessible provider access, and plan options that suit different life stages.

What a combined plan includes

• Day-to-day benefits: GP consultations, basic dental and optometry access, and acute medicines through set benefit limits.
• In-hospital protection: Admissions, theatre and ward fees, approved procedures and in-hospital scans.
• Support services: Virtual consultations with a Healthcare Practitioner and Emergency Medical Response when required.

Why this matters for South African households

Routine expenses can add up quickly and unexpected hospital bills can be financially devastating. A combined approach - often the core of the best comprehensive medical insurance choices - reduces the chance of skipping routine care while safeguarding against large in-hospital costs. Families with young children frequently prioritise stronger day-to-day benefits, while retirees may prioritise higher hospital limits.
