Meeting Everyday Medical Needs and Major Events in Gauteng

For families, professionals, and individuals living in Gauteng, reliable and affordable health cover is crucial. Rising medical costs and uncertain access to quality care mean that an insurance option combining day-to-day benefits with hospital protection can simplify your budget and provide peace of mind when facing both minor ailments and serious emergencies.

Essential Elements of a Combined Health Plan

• Outpatient cover for everyday healthcare: GP and nurse consultations, routine diagnostics, acute medicines, basic dentistry, and optometry.
• In-hospital benefits for major procedures: Theatre and ward fees, accident and illness admissions, approved medical fees, and selected scans performed during admission.
• Access to a broad network of private providers in Gauteng, reducing reliance on busy public hospitals.

The Affinity Health combined plan ensures you are equipped to manage minor routine healthcare and unexpected hospitalisation, all in a single monthly premium. This is especially valuable for residents of Gauteng, where demand for quality healthcare can be high.
