Bad Service

I am very disappointed with Affinity Health. I recently requested to see a doctor in person, but instead of allowing a consultation, I was sent medication by SMS — even after clearly stating that I wanted to see a doctor.

I did not consent to receiving treatment or prescriptions without a proper medical examination. It is unacceptable to deny members the option of a physical consultation, especially when it concerns their health.

I would like this matter resolved urgently and expect confirmation that I can see a registered GP under my policy benefits. Please respond with the steps to do so or provide a written explanation if this is being refused. I can barely breathe but get sent that medication.

I appreciate being called back and it being sorted. Within minutes I got worse and I made it to the doctor in time. Thank you to the doctor that called me, I appreciate his kindness.
