Affordable combined day-to-day and hospital cover for Durban

Finding a low-cost option that balances routine healthcare with protection for hospital events matters for Durban households. Affinity Health offers plan options that bring day-to-day benefits together with in-hospital protection so you can manage everyday consultations and still avoid large unexpected bills after an admission.

What a combined plan provides

• Day-to-day benefits: GP consultations, basic dentistry and optical access, and acute medicines for common short-term conditions.
• Hospital benefits: In-hospital admissions, theatre and ward fees, approved clinician fees and in-hospital procedures.
• Support services: 24/7 emergency medical response and phone or online consultations for urgent advice.

A combined plan is often the most budget-friendly way to cover both routine needs and major events in one monthly payment. For details on benefit design, see Affinity Health’s combined plan page: Affinity Health - Combined Plan.

How affordability is achieved

Choosing the right level for your Durban household

Step-by-step selection guide

• Estimate routine usage: count expected GP visits, dental check-ups and eyewear needs per year.
• Identify major risk: consider planned surgeries or higher injury risk from occupation or sports.
