Complete Health Cover for Free State Families and Individuals

Residents of the Free State know that finding reliable medical insurance means more than just covering emergencies. Everyday medical needs - from GP consultations to optometry and routine medicines - are just as important as protecting against unplanned hospital stays. Combining day-to-day benefits with hospital cover increases peace of mind and keeps healthcare costs manageable. Affinity Health offers comprehensive, budget-friendly options designed for Free State families, young professionals, and retirees who need ongoing care and genuine protection against major events.

What Do Combined Health Plans Provide?

• Day-to-Day Care: GP visits, acute medicines, dental check-ups, optometrist access, and minor out-of-hospital procedures.
• Hospital Benefits: In-patient admissions, selected surgeries, theatre and ward fees, maternity admissions, accident and emergency services.
• Telephonic Healthcare: Immediate access to advice and routine prescription support, reducing unnecessary clinic visits.

Why a Combined Approach Works in the Free State

• Private healthcare protection at a fraction of medical aid premiums
• No need to choose between routine and major event coverage
• Pays for both minor conditions and high-value claims, so you only pay out-of-pocket for excluded services
