The greenhouse effect is only related to the amount of human, temperature altering (and atoms transforming on a huge scale) and particularly industrial activity there is on Earth. Diseases are things that go on (or preferably & if you're lucky, don't) inside us, the climate ... this is what goes on outside us ... the two are unrelated.

I think it would be the other way around. Global warming could affect disease through climate change. For example, if more areas become tropical in climate, diseases such as malaria could become more prevalent. Parasitic worms which cause diseases such as filariasis and elephantiasis could become more prevalent in more northern areas of Africa. Already there are mosquitoes carrying encephalitis which have been moving north as the climate of North America warms.
