**THE LARGEST ECOSYSTEM OF EDUCATION AND SOLUTIONS FOR MEDICAL PRACTICE IN BRAZIL.**
The Afya brand was launched in 2019, but our story began much earlier. We emerged from the merger between NRE Educacional—the largest group of medical schools in Brazil, founded in 1999—and MEDCEL, a brand specializing in residency exam preparation courses.
Through rapid growth, we have acquired new educational units over recent years—now more than 30 across Brazil—as well as over 10 startups delivering digital solutions for medical practice. Afya Whitebook, Afya iClinic, Afya Papers, Glic, and Cliquefarma are some brands in our portfolio. Visit afya.com.br to learn more about our history and all the solutions we offer.
Afya has been a publicly traded company since 2019, with shares listed on the Nasdaq stock exchange in the United States. In 2023, we also made our shares available on the Brazilian stock exchange, B3. Learn more at ir.afya.com.br.
**Our purpose is to transform healthcare together with those who hold medicine as their vocation.** To achieve this, we rely on a team of 10,000 curious, collaborative, committed, adaptable, and results-driven individuals—from every corner of Brazil, speaking diverse dialects but united by the same language and shared purpose. If you identify with the Afya way of being, **join us in transforming healthcare through education and technology**. \#VemSerAfya
