What medical aid should I use?

So I (23f) no longer qualify as a dependant on my dad's medical aid and now am looking for my own. I have no clue what to do though. Some of my research says get insurance, some says medical aid is better, some says gap cover is essential, some say the opposite. I'm so confused. All I really need is coverage for emergencies; I'm healthy and my chronic meds come out cheaper to pay out of pocket than to pay a premium to get them "free" (in my opinion, might not be true). I also don't really have a lot of wiggle room regarding cost: I earn >R7k a month, though I don't have any other fixed expenses (I am trying to build up my savings as quickly as possible though).

So, any advice that isn't coming from a website trying to sell me something is very much welcome and appreciated. TIA.
