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”.
