Why choose comprehensive medical insurance in the North West?

Finding the right medical insurance in the North West means balancing everyday access to primary care with solid in-hospital protection for surgery, admissions and emergency medical response. Affinity Health offers combined plan options that aim to keep private healthcare within reach for young professionals, families with children and retirees across the province. Compare benefits, provider access and monthly budgeting to match the right plan to your household needs.

What combined plans cover

• In-hospital care: theatre and ward fees, approved in-hospital procedures and inpatient costs.
• Day-to-day benefits: GP consultations, basic dentistry and optometry, subject to plan limits for outpatient care.
• Support services: remote consultations with a healthcare practitioner and Emergency Medical Response when required.

Who benefits most

Combined cover is often the right choice when you want predictable monthly costs for routine care while protecting your family from high hospital bills. Young professionals prioritise efficient GP access and remote consultations; families focus on paediatric GP visits and dental care for children; retirees look for higher in-hospital limits and reliable claims handling.
