The letter explains the progress made since the Global Fund to Fight Aids, Tuberculosis, and Malaria was founded in 2002, with the help of the foundation. "In 2018 alone, nearly 19 million people received life-saving HIV treatment in countries where the organization invests," Bill says in the letter. He says with the Global Fund, the world has a pipeline to get new innovations out to the places that need them the most. By end of 2018, health programmes supported by the Global Fund partnership had saved 32 million lives. The Gates Foundation is the biggest private contributor to Global Fund.
