# Afya Limited Announces Medical Seats Increase in Afya Abaetetuba | AFYA Stock News

BELO HORIZONTE, Brazil--(BUSINESS WIRE)--**Afya Limited (Nasdaq: AFYA; B3: A2FY34)** (“**Afya**” or the “**Company**”), the leading medical education group and provider of medical practice solutions in Brazil, today announced that the Secretary of Regulation and Supervision of Higher Education of the Ministry of Education (“MEC”) has authorized an increase of 63 medical seats for ITPAC – Instituto Tocantinense Presidente Antonio Carlos Porto S.A. (“Afya Abaetetuba”), located in the city of Abaetetuba, in the state of Pará. With this authorization, Afya’s Abaetetuba campus will offer a total of 113 medical seats.

As Afya Cametá—an approved but, non-operating medical school —and Afya Abaetetuba are located within the same health region, Afya Cametá will not become operational, thereby creating the capacity that enabled the approval of 63 additional medical seats at Afya Abaetetuba.

With this addition, Afya now has a total of 3,766 approved medical seats across its portfolio. This expansion reinforces the Company’s commitment to delivering high-quality medical education and further strengthens its position as the leading provider of medical education in Brazil.

**About Afya:**
