Since 2005, a total of 199 treatment teams have participated in the six PATA forums to date and have set self-improvement goals for their clinic. In addition, seven local PATA forums have involved 350 participants from across sectors in Uganda, Kenya, Mpumalanga and Eastern Cape South Africa and Lesotho.
