The advancements made in science and technology have transformed almost every field of life. Since last two centuries the medical world has faced tremendous transformations, like the discovery of new and efficient diagnostic techniques for early detection of illness and introduction of several new antibiotics for disease control and treatment .In my opinion, These discoveries are considered to be beneficial not only for an individual but also for a society as a whole.
The role of science and technology in improving health care is undeniable. While it help to spread awareness about healthy life style to avoid any disease, it also provide opportunity to detect any hidden illness by performing certain laboratory tests and investigations. Early detection of diseases made possible by advancing techniques. For instance, in case of sudden cardiac arrest, treatment given in first few hours is proved to be life-saving; however, in order to get treatment it should be diagnosed first, as the clinical symptoms can vary from person to person. Therefore, advance technology made possible to detect cardiac enzymes in the blood as a diagnostic tool and hence it is save life.
Advancements of science give rise to countless miracles and the discovery of new antibiotics is one of them. Treatment of disease is always the most tricky part of medicine especially when pathogen is resistant to commonly used antibiotics. To deal with such problems and to provide effective treatment , discoveries of various new antibiotics took place. These inventions have the potential to yield substantial benefits to human beings.
To conclude, in my opinion, the effects of developing technology in medical field, in terms of new diagnostic methods and new treatment options, cannot be over looked. Science has successfully made substantial improvement of overall health and well being of a society as a whole.
