Understanding Broad Health Insurance for Individuals and Families

Access to private healthcare is more important than ever in Kimberley, especially as the cost of medical events rises and public hospital demand increases. Broad health insurance is designed to offer protection across both everyday medical needs and serious hospital events. With options for children, adults, and seniors, these plans from Affinity Health help keep healthcare within financial reach for all South Africans.
