Team PATA

Steering committee

PATA is led by a steering committee of volunteers who freely give of their time and energy. These experts and frontline health care workers are located across the African continent and internationally and are active in the field of paediatric HIV.

Comprising of 16 members, the committee meets every second month and is responsible for planning PATA's strategy which is then implemented by the Secretariat (TeamPATA).

The steering committee is further divided into a finance committee, an academic committee and an annual forum organising committee.
