Afya Medicare Polyclinic brings Vertex Group Experts' outpatient healthcare model to Zanzibar, offering accessible consultation, diagnostics, and pharmacy services to residents and the island's growing visitor population.
Afya Medicare Polyclinic is part of the Vertex Group Experts healthcare network, extending outpatient services to Zanzibar. The polyclinic focuses on same-day consultations, basic diagnostics, and medication access, referring more complex cases into the wider VGE hospital and specialist network on the mainland.
As part of a multi-sector group with hospital-grade partners and a medical tourism division, the polyclinic can also coordinate onward referral for patients who need specialist or international care.
Afya Medicare Polyclinic works alongside the rest of Vertex Group Experts' healthcare sites, referring and receiving patients as needed.
