Affinity Health’s updated offering continues to include hospital benefits such as:

In addition to the above, Affinity Health has also increased its benefits for serious illness, including heart attacks, third-degree heart blocks, strokes, and cancer, and included an optional booster should members wish to increase the amount provided under the Accident Hospital Cover benefit.
Members also can choose a combined plan, which includes both day-to-day benefits (GP visits, optometry, pathology, radiology, dentistry and more) and hospital plans at discounted rates.
