About Litunga
NHP Litunga is our most affordable offering providing unlimited cover for day-to-day primary care services, at our designated service provider facilities. These service providers can be found on our list of contracted general practitioners and registered nurses here. Litunga is the ideal option for individuals in the lowest income group who have previously lacked access to subsidised private healthcare.
Note: If you are currently a member of any of the other NHP benefit options and not used to primary healthcare, we strongly recommend that you do not “buy down” to the Litunga benefit option as your choice of general practitioner, nurse and healthcare facility is restricted. Litunga benefits are not pro-rated with the exception of the optical and dental benefits where sub-limits are applicable.
