Why Pretoria Residents Choose a Combined Health Plan

In Pretoria, the cost of private healthcare can put pressure on individuals and families, especially when juggling routine medical needs and the risk of unexpected hospital visits. A combined health plan addresses both priorities-routine care like GP appointments, medication, and basic dentistry, alongside robust hospital cover for major health events or emergencies. Affinity Health empowers Pretoria’s diverse community by making this essential medical cover more attainable than ever before.

How Combined Health Plans Work

Combined health plans are designed to prevent costly gaps in cover while offering straightforward monthly costs. Their primary benefits include:

• Day-to-day cover for GP visits, acute medication, pathology, and basic dentistry.
• Hospital cover for emergencies, surgery, maternity care, and more.
• Telephonic healthcare consultations with registered practitioners for added convenience.

These plans suit a wide range of Pretoria’s residents-from young professionals and growing families to retirees seeking reliable budgeting for their medical needs.
