Affinity Health Claims to Have the Best Hospital Plan in South Africa

February 17, 2018

If full medical cover has become out of the question for you, don’t just give up on all health care. Full medical cover has become an unaffordable luxury and its precisely why so many South Africans are looking at hospital plans in a whole new light. Take a look at Affinity Health plans, for instance.

There’s a lot of confusion about hospital plans and hospital insurance. Those plans where you are paid a cash amount each day you’re in hospital can be tricky as you could land up having to foot a hospital bill that is way beyond the amount you get paid each day.

That is precisely what hospital insurance is about – it pays you for the time you spend in hospital and not for the cost of Affinity Health the treatment you receive. Therefore choose your hospital plan provider carefully.
