To answer your question, the most important contribution of science and technology to health has been the ability to find cures for most ailments. There have been many contributions – the concept of wellness, diet, etc. The most important has been the ability to provide cures or preventive measures for the different ailments that afflict us. Progress in science and technology has meant the discovery of complex techniques to cure previously incurable diseases. The development of vaccines has meant that diseases like small pox have been totally eradicated. Advancements in technology have given surgeons the tools to come up with complex surgical equipment to make previously complicated surgeries simple and previously impossible surgeries possible.

Therefore, the single greatest contribution of science and technology to the field of health has been the ability to find cures. If there was no development in science and advancements in technology, most of the procedures and medication available today would have remained the subject of medical fantasy, not reality.
