Associação dos Funcionários Públicos do Espírito Santo

What Associação dos Funcionários Públicos do Espírito Santo does

Associação dos Funcionários Públicos do Espírito Santo (AFPES) is a non-profit civil association founded on January 19, 1934, headquartered in Vitória, Espírito Santo, Brazil. AFPES delivers ambulatory medical-hospital services primarily to public servants of the state of Espírito Santo and their dependents through a closed membership model, operating two physical ambulatory units: a 22-consultório flagship facility in Cidade Alta, Vitória, and a 9-consultório secondary unit in the IBES neighborhood of Vila Velha. The institution provides 22+ medical specialties including cardiology, dermatology, orthopedics, neurology, physiotherapy, dentistry, psychology, psychiatry, and pediatrics, supplemented by an online appointment scheduling portal (Central de Marcação), minor surgeries, plaster services, and a member ombudsman (Ouvidoria).

AFPES is also a regional reference within the Unified Health System (SUS) for specialized orthopedic surgery in hemophilic patients, delivered in partnership with the State Health Secretariat of Espírito Santo and the Association of Hemophiliacs. Operationally, AFPES runs on the Tasy hospital management information system (fully integrated as of June 1, 2026) and coordinates organ donation awareness through its CIHDOTT commission. The organization is governed by an elected board (current President Maria de Fátima Vieira dos Santos, term 2026-2030) and is affiliated with FEHOFES (Federação das Santas Casas e Hospitais Filantrópicos do Espírito Santo) and the State Health Council (CES-ES), and was formally recognized by the State Legislative Assembly (ALES) in 2026.

AFPES's revenue mechanics rely on recurring membership/association fees paid by Espírito Santo public servants; no public pricing schedule or financial disclosures are available. The institution also receives SUS reimbursement for hemophilia reference services and pursues sponsorship and event partnerships (e.g., Vida Administradora e Corretora de Seguros for SIPAT 2024). Go-to-market is direct-to-consumer through the two ambulatory units plus a self-serve online booking channel, with top-of-funnel awareness via a website blog, Facebook, and Instagram health campaigns, and bottom-of-funnel engagement via WhatsApp.
