Paediatric - Adolescent Treatment Africa

Paediatric - Adolescent Treatment Africa Paediatric AIDS Treatment for Africa (PATA) is an action network of paediatric HIV treatment teams f NPO Number: 090-092
PBO Number: 930034219

PATA is a Cape Town-based non-profit organisation (NPO) that provides crucial support, education, training and resources to 310 paediatric HIV clinics across 24 sub-Saharan African countries. The fundamental purpose of PATA is to assist these clinics to improve the quality of healthcare they are able to provide to HIV-infected children and their families. PATA’s core activities include holding an

annual participatory, action-oriented training forum for 80-160 frontline healthcare workers to share best practices and operational strategies, conducting quality improvement training at district level, and running a task-shifting programme in 49 clinics across 15 countries. PATA also mentors and up-skills clinics throughout the year to manage self-initiated quality improvement projects. PATA maintains contact with clinic teams throughout the year through our newsletter and website www.teampata.org (a platform for sharing electronic resources such as the PATA proceedings, the written output of the annual forum). The PATA network promotes team exchanges, resource sharing, task-shifting and the involvement of people living with HIV/AIDS in the clinic. The PATA office is advised by a 13-member Steering Committee of leading practitioners who meet bimonthly to direct PATA's strategy, programmes and operations.

This , we’re reminded that health goes beyond the health facility.
Without access to clean water, good nutrition, and safe environments, children, adolescents, young people, and caregivers are at greater risk of poor health outcomes.
For healthcare providers, this means looking beyond clinical care — recognising early signs that something may not be right, and linking children and caregivers to the support they need, in their communities.

In Tanzania, through the programme is strengthening peer supporters with skills in mental health support and the first 1000 days of life — a critical window for both mother and child.

With practical tools like the 1000 First Days flipchart, peer supporters are now ready to take this knowledge into communities — leading conversations with young mothers and supporting them to care for themselves and their babies from pregnancy through early childhood.
Because support doesn’t stop at the clinic — it continues in homes, in communities, and through caregivers, peer supporters, and mentor mothers.
