Full Medical Insurance Choices for Pretoria Households

Ensuring you and your family have access to wide-ranging health protection is increasingly important. For individuals and families in Pretoria, medical cover should mean more than handling only emergencies-it should support your well-being on a daily basis and provide assurance for hospital events and long-term health needs. Affinity Health makes these options approachable for all, with plans tailored for children, adults, and seniors.

What does essential medical cover include?

• Support for all ages: Specialised plans for children (0-17 years) and adults over 55, plus combined options for the rest of the family.

Choosing a plan: How wide coverage works in Pretoria

Pretoria households can select from different plan types to create essential coverage for every situation, including:

• Day-to-day cover: For managing doctor appointments, minor illnesses, and routine tests.
• Hospital cover: For in-hospital treatment, surgeries, or emergency events.

Affordability: Keeping premiums practical

Premiums remain fixed regardless of where in Gauteng you live, helping all residents better plan their budgets.

Practical steps: Maximising your cover

1. Identify your biggest risks by age group and health history.
2. Check your local Pretoria network for day-to-day and hospital facilities.
3. Consider if you or your dependents could benefit from a plan that combines day-to-day and hospital care, or if stand-alone cover is more suitable.
