No cap on routine doctor visits for kids, helping manage illness and promote wellness.

Dental, optometry, and acute medicine included for comprehensive child healthcare.
Young children are especially vulnerable to common illnesses and injuries that require prompt medical attention. For South African parents and guardians, ensuring access to reliable healthcare-without restrictions on the number of doctor consultations-can make all the difference in managing both acute and ongoing childhood health needs.
Did you know? The average South African child under 7 may require multiple GP visits annually, especially in early childhood. Unlimited visits remove barriers to essential primary care.
With tailored cover for children, Affinity Health’s Junior health plan includes unlimited doctor consultations for children aged 0-17. This supports families needing reliable, long-term access to healthcare, whether for routine check-ups, vaccinations, or acute problems.
| Feature | Covered in Junior Plan? |
|---|---|
| Unlimited GP Visits | Yes |
| Basic Dentistry & Optometry | Yes |
| Acute Medication | Yes |
| Specialised Care* | Referral-Based |
*Referral by a registered primary healthcare practitioner is required for access to certain additional services.
The monthly premium for the Junior Day-to-Day Plan starts at R609 per child (as of June 2024), making it accessible for a range of South African families seeking affordable yet inclusive primary healthcare for their children.
Quick access to care allows for better management of common childhood infections, reducing the likelihood of more severe complications. Unlimited GP consultations also ensure that recurrent problems-like allergies, childhood asthma, or repeated minor infections-are managed proactively, not reactively.
Affinity Health connects families to a national network of healthcare providers. Parents can find a doctor nearby with ease. This support extends to after-hours telephonic consultations when in-person care is not immediately available, adding reassurance for urgent queries.
Tip: Use your child’s unlimited consultation benefit for annual school readiness checks, vision or hearing concerns, and expert advice on school health requirements.
Families can pair the Junior Day-to-Day Plan with hospital cover or opt for a combined plan for all-round protection. This approach ensures that both everyday needs and more serious health events are managed without financial strain.
