Our COVID-19 Action Plan
As the frontline of health service delivery faces an emergency in the face of the coronavirus COVID-19 pandemic, PATA’s action plan for COVID-19 aims to support frontline health providers across the PATA network.
Looking to prepare and manage cases for COVID-19? Our COVID-19 Preparation and Management presentation can be used in your health facilities.
We asked frontline health providers to complete surveys in 2020 and 2021, which enabled us to better understand frontline realities and help frontline health providers get what they need during the pandemic.
Our website has a space for individuals to submit messages of support and acknowledgement to frontline health providers to let theme know we’re thinking of them.
Voices from the frontline of COVID-19
Thank you to the frontline health providers who have shared their stories in written, audio or vlog format. Your story has amplified the voices of frontline health providers across sub-Saharan Africa, offering inspiration and empowerment during the global COVID-19 pandemic.
If you would like to share your story, please email info@teampata.org.
Messages of Support
During the COVID-19 outbreak, PATA launched a platform to acknowledge and show support for frontline health providers. These messages were shared across the PATA website and social media platforms. Today, we can continue to show our appreciation and support for those on the frontline.

Greetings. I hope that the health providers will be able to adequately sensitize and educate all AYPLHIV (adolescents and young people living with HIV) on HIV and COVID-19.
