BELO HORIZONTE, Brazil–(BUSINESS WIRE<\/a>)–Afya Limited (Nasdaq: AFYA; B3: A2FY34)<\/b> (\u201cAfya<\/b>\u201d or the \u201cCompany<\/b>\u201d), 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 (\u201cMEC\u201d) has authorized an increase of 63 medical seats for ITPAC \u2013 Instituto Tocantinense Presidente Antonio Carlos Porto S.A.

\nAs Afya Camet\u00e1\u2014an approved but, non-operating medical school \u2014and Afya Abaetetuba are located within the same health region, Afya Camet\u00e1 will not become operational, thereby creating the capacity that enabled the approval of 63 additional medical seats at Afya Abaetetuba.<\/p>\n
