Complete health insurance that balances everyday care and in-hospital protection

Finding the best complete medical insurance in the Eastern Cape means choosing a plan that covers routine consultations, basic day-to-day needs and reliable hospital protection when it matters most. Affinity Health offers plan options that serve young professionals, families with children and retirees who need essential hospital cover plus day-to-day benefits without unaffordable premiums. This page explains how combined plans work, what to compare, and how Affinity Health supports access to private healthcare across the province.

What a combined health plan includes

• Day-to-day benefits: GP consultations, basic dentistry, optometry and acute medicines within stated limits.
• Hospital protection: In-hospital admissions, theatre and ward fees, approved clinician fees and in-hospital procedures and scans.
• Support services: 24/7 telephonic advice, virtual consultations and Emergency Medical Response where required.

Why residents of the Eastern Cape choose a combined approach

A combined plan reduces the chance that routine health costs lead to deferred care while keeping you protected from large hospital bills. For working adults and families, this balance helps with budgeting and access to private care when time-sensitive treatment is needed.
