Insights
This commitment by Afya to provide 5 million free health consultations by 2030 is a significant step towards addressing healthcare accessibility issues in Brazil. The expansion of outpatient clinics from 20 to 27 and the inclusion of 16 undergraduate units in the Afya Digital Health Network demonstrate a comprehensive approach to healthcare delivery.
The focus on telemedicine and specialties like Psychiatry, where there's a shortage of professionals in certain regions, is particularly noteworthy. This strategy could potentially alleviate the uneven distribution of healthcare services across Brazil, a persistent challenge in the country's healthcare system.
However, while this initiative aligns with SDG 3 and could improve health outcomes, its impact on Afya's financial performance is less clear. The cost of providing free consultations and expanding facilities may pressure short-term profitability, but could enhance Afya's brand value and market position in the long run. Investors should monitor how this commitment affects Afya's operational costs and revenue growth in coming years.
NOVA
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.
