April 2023

The April 2023 PATA Newsletter highlights the urgent need to address service gaps for HIV diagnosis and treatment among children and adolescents in Africa, where an estimated 800,000 remain untreated. PATA is calling for action to strengthen health systems and invest in frontline healthcare providers to achieve global and national health targets. As a technical support partner, PATA collaborates with healthcare teams, local implementing partners, and ministries of health to create quality, rights-based, stigma-free, and person-centred service experiences. The newsletter also features highlights of PATA programmes, including their expansion and adaptation to improve service delivery for children and adolescents affected by HIV across Africa.
