WASHINGTON \u2013 According to a new report<\/a> from The Global Fund to Fight HIV\/AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria, investments in the fight against the three preventable diseases have saved a total of 65 million lives and cut the combined death rate by 61% since 2002.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe global fight against preventable disease is one of the world\u2019s greatest success stories, said Liz Leibowitz, Senior Director of Government Relations at the ONE Campaign<\/strong>. \u201cMore than two decades of saving lives and improving livelihoods is a powerful legacy and, as a result of programs like the Global Fund and historic leadership from countries like the United States, sixty-five million more people are here today to celebrate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBut our work is far from over. In the hands of tried-and-tested global health programs like the Global Fund, Gavi, and PEPFAR, this is a fight we know we can win. It\u2019s imperative that world leaders \u2013 guided by the US \u2013 continue to support these vital programs and bring us closer to a day where everyone, everywhere is safe from the threat of preventable, treatable disease.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
