Choosing the right level for KwaZulu-Natal households

Step-by-step selection guide

• List routine needs: Estimate annual GP visits, dental checks and eyewear replacement for each family member.
• Estimate major-event risk: Consider surgical plans, potential hospital admissions, and occupational or leisure risks.
