GENEVA: The fight against HIV, tuberculosis and malaria has saved 50 million lives over the past 20 years, the Global Fund said on Monday, appealing for $18 billion to save millions more.

'We have made tremendous progress,' the global partnership created in 2002 to battle the three deadly diseases said in its annual report, with their death rates halved since then.
