Supplies For Life

"The longstanding relationship between Partners In Health and AFYA allowed us to respond quickly and effectively to the devastating earthquake in Haiti. Our partnership is providing immediate relief and materials to our physicians and care providers on the ground who are in desperate need of medical supplies. We will also rely on AFYA for ongoing support for Haiti's long and difficult recovery ahead."

The Afya Foundation obtains and ships vital supplies necessary to support medical and surgical initiatives worldwide, with a primary focus on Africa. Supplies are donated and gathered from hospitals, surgical centers and corporations. Our goal is to serve as a donation-based clearinghouse for the international health community.

Afya has a standardized training procedure for large hospitals and surgical centers to become collaborative partners within the NY Metropolitan area.

By aggressively gathering donations of unused medical supplies the Afya Foundation advances positive health and environmental outcomes by reducing medical waste and incineration. Approximately 7 billion pounds of PVC is discarded every year in municipal solid, medical, construction and demolition waste. Every year, the United States produces approximately 3.2 million tons of medical waste.

The miracle is not to fly in the air, or to walk on the water, but to walk on the earth.
