Afya Limited (Nasdaq: AFYA; B3: A2FY34) (“Afya” or the “Company”), the leading medical education group and medical practice solutions provider in Brazil, announced a public commitment to achieve 5 million free health consultations by 2030, in line with Sustainable Development Goal 3 (SDG 3), which aims to ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all people, at all ages.

To serve the communities and achieve the estimated results, Afya intends to increase to 27 the number of its own outpatient clinics that carry out medical consultations and health care in various specialties, such as psychology, physiotherapy, dentistry, among others. Currently, there are 20 outpatient clinics in different locations.

In addition to expanding outpatient clinics, 16 undergraduate units will be included in the Afya Digital Health Network by 2030, a telemedicine project that will allow the exchange of experiences between professors, students, and preceptors. The project will also increase the offer of free consultations, especially in specialties where there is a shortage of professionals in some regions of activity, such as Psychiatry.

Virgilio Gibbon, Afya's CEO and SDG 3 Impact Leader, emphasizes that "Adherence to SDG 3 highlights how it is possible to align our business objectives with a meaningful purpose, generating a lasting impact on the populations we serve and promoting long-term changes in the quality of life and health of communities. To achieve this, we work closely with public agencies and initiatives such as the SDGs, to influence the creation of public policies that contribute to the establishment of doctors in geographically underserved areas and improve the ratio of doctors per thousand inhabitants", he explains.
