AFYA

Afya Limited operates as a leading medical education group in Brazil, providing digital and on-site educational services through its comprehensive ecosystem of medical schools, undergraduate and graduate courses, and continuing medical education programs. Headquartered in Nova Lima, Brazil, the company serves students and physicians across the entire medical career spectrum, from entrance exam preparation through residency and continuing professional development. Afya operates over 30 medical school campuses throughout Brazil and maintains a robust digital platform that reaches hundreds of thousands of medical students and practicing physicians. The company's business model centers on three primary segments: undergrad, which encompasses its network of medical schools; continuing education, offering specialization courses and residency prep; and digital services, including educational content, practice management solutions, and medical imaging services. Afya holds a significant market position as one of Brazil's largest private medical education providers, measured by number of medical school seats. The company has pursued strategic growth through acquisitions of medical schools and complementary educational businesses, expanding its geographic footprint and service offerings. Its digital platform integrates educational content with practical tools that physicians use throughout their careers, creating a sticky ecosystem that differentiates Afya from traditional educational institutions and positions it to benefit from Brazil's growing demand for medical professionals and physician training.
