$68MWe act quickly, becoming a dependable partner in securing impactful, sustainable relief. Afya created a ground-breaking system for crisis response — we listen and respond, sending partners on the ground only what is needed in their communities. Our model recognizes that each hospital, government, and clinic faces distinct public health conditions. This saves time, money, and lives.
Afya customizes disaster relief to the realities of each crisis, coordinating with providers to facilitate shipments of surplus supplies and equipment that are matched precisely to need. Responsiveness, resilience, and resourcefulness are ingrained in everything we do. Afya brings dignity and respect to the teams we work with, and hope and passion to the work we do. Since 2008, we’ve been in it for the long haul.
Afya saw an untapped opportunity to rescue unused medical supplies that would otherwise go to landfill. By collecting these supplies and distributing them to communities in need, we are able to create impact on both sides.
Together with the Greater New York Hospital Association (GNYHA), Afya launched a groundbreaking initiative called The New York City Coalition of Hospitals. We collect unused medical supplies from 40 hospitals across New York City. These essential resources are then sorted, boxed and delivered to physicians, health clinics, and community-based humanitarian organizations in need globally.
