Organization information
Afya is the missing link in the global medical supply chain, delivering better health outcomes by air, ground, and sea.
For over a decade, Afya has been creating access to basic medical supplies where there is noneāsupplies like sutures, bandages, assorted surgical instruments, and more. Afya has developed the know-how and expertise to collect unused medical supplies and equipment from U.S.-based health care providers and deliver these valuable supplies to underserved communities here at home and throughout the world. By addressing the critical shortage of medical supplies in the communities it works with, Afya also increases health care workforce retainment and improves health outcomes for patients.ā At the same time, Afya reduces medical-supply waste in the U.S., extending the shelf-life of these items, and ensuring health care providers have access to the tools they need to provide lifesaving care no matter where they are located.ā
