Practical, budget-friendly combined health insurance for East London

If you live in East London and are looking for cheap complete health insurance that still gives dependable protection, a combined plan (day-to-day care plus hospital cover) can be the most cost-effective way to manage both routine healthcare and major medical events. Affinity Health offers plan options designed for individuals, families with children, young professionals and retirees who want predictable monthly costs without sacrificing access to private care.

What a combined plan includes

• Day-to-day benefits: GP consultations, basic dentistry, optometry network access and acute medicines within set benefit limits.
• Hospital benefits: In-hospital admissions, theatre and ward fees, approved in-hospital procedures and related inpatient care.
• Support services: Remote consultations with a healthcare practitioner and Emergency Medical Response coordination when required.
