The UN's sixth millennium goal is to combat HIV/Aids, Malaria and other diseases.
The targets of the goal are to halt and reverse the spread of HIV/AIDS, malaria, and other diseases by 2015, and get universal treatment of HIV/AIDS for those who need it.
So far, there has been good progress. Since 2001, the number of people newly diagnosed with HIV has gone down 33%. A record 9.7 million people are being treated for HIV this year. Also, 1.1 million lives were saved from Malaria and 20 million saved from tuberculosis because of treatment since 1995.
On the other side, 7 million people do not have access to HIV treatment. Also, 80% of all Malaria cases occur in fourteen countries.
Thanks to many groups like WHO and UNITAIDS the amount of deaths by these dieases has gone down. They give out treated mosquito nets and free vaccinations for HIV/AIDS, Tuberculosis, and Malaria.
