PATA 2022 Summit
Coming soon to the PATA Linking and Learning Hub!
We are thrilled to announce the PATA 2022 Summit, taking place from 21-23 November 2022, under the theme “Ending AIDS in Children, Adolescents and Young People – a Roadmap to 2030”.
This year’s PATA 2022 Summit is directly aligned and themed according to the newly formed Global Alliance to end AIDS in children by 2030, which aims to secure political commitment and leadership to eliminate vertical transmission and end AIDS in children once and for all. The PATA 2022 Summit will provide an important convening of key providers on the frontline of the HIV response, across several high-burden countries in sub–Saharan Africa. This exciting hybrid event will take place simultaneously across 12 countries through satellite spoke, and virtually via the PATA Linking and Learning Hub. The mix of virtual and in-person summits crosses digital and geographic divides and allows many more people to engage than in a traditional in-person summit.

Summits and Forums
PATA Summits have been convened annually since 2005, offering a powerful platform and valuable opportunity for health providers to share their experiences and engage in peer-to-peer learning to improve paediatric and adolescent HIV treatment and service delivery in sub-Saharan Africa. These forums are the foundation to growing the PATA network and expanding our scope of work. PATA Summits ‘link and learn’ approach is central to PATA’s mission to mobilise, strengthen and build resilience in a network of frontline health providers, facilities and communities supporting paediatric and adolescent HIV service delivery.
The PATA network has been a springboard in developing a range of incubation projects that inform the development and distribution of promising paediatric and adolescent models in HIV prevention, treatment and care. Through PATA’s unique reach across health facilities in sub-Saharan Africa, the network connects frontline health providers to global policy platforms, working groups and consortium, as part of a collective effort to reach global targets and improve paediatric and adolescent outcomes.
PATA 2021 Summit
The PATA 2021 Summit theme focused on health providers at the centre of building clinic and community collaborations by promoting conversations between these two stakeholders. This helps to strengthen partnership and improve HIV service delivery pathways for children and adolescents so that services are better coordinated and impactful.
This exciting hybrid event took place simultaneously across 12 countries through satellite spokes organised in eSwatini, Kenya, Malawi, Mozambique, South Africa, Tanzania, Uganda, Zambia, Cameroon, Ethiopia, Nigeria and Zimbabwe, as well as broadcast globally through a centralised digital platform “PATA Linking and Learning Hub.“
