We deliver. Afya creates access to critical medical supplies where there is none, supplies like sutures, bandages, assorted surgical instruments, and more. Afya’s programs give these supplies a second life, diverting them from landfills to wherever they are needed—making us a vital link in the global medical supply chain.
Our model recognizes that each hospital, government, and clinic face disparate public health conditions. Afya is unique in that it customizes each shipment to the specified needs of healthcare providers on the ground, ensuring only needed items are delivered which is crucial in medical emergencies when healthcare workers do not have the time to sort through surplus items.
Customized shipments of medical supplies bolster compromised and under-resources health systems abroad.
