Twenty years ago, AIDS, tuberculosis (TB) and malaria seemed unbeatable. In 2002, in an act of extraordinary global solidarity and leadership, the world came together to create the Global Fund to fight what were then the deadliest pandemics confronting humanity.
Over the 20 years that followed, the Global Fund partnership has invested more than US$55.4 billion, saving 50 million lives and reducing the combined death rate from the three diseases by more than half in the countries where we invest.
