    Over the last few centuries, many great inventions have saved millions of lives. These have all helped improve people’s quality of life and, of course, saved many lives regularly.


    Many inventions have been created over the centuries that have had a huge influence on the world and have not only helped to make people’s lives easier but also saved many lives.

    This article will list what we believe were the top ten best inventions that have saved millions of lives since their creation.

    10. Toilets – have helped to prevent many deadly diseases from spreading

    Through their use, toilets have helped to save thousands of lives as they dispose of human waste safely and efficiently, helping to decrease diseases spreading rapidly.   

    9. Pasteurisation – has helped to extend the health and life of food

    Pasteurisation is the process in which foods are treated with mild heat to eliminate dangerous pathogens and extend the overall shelf life of the product.

    This process has helped to make food safer as it has reduced the risk of food poisoning.  

    8. Pesticides – helped to ensure safe food is produced regularly

    Pesticides help farmers to produce high-quality, safe foods that can be sold at an affordable price and allow them to create an abundance of food all year round.

    By making things like fruit and vegetables cheaper, people worldwide have greater access to purchasing them, which enriches their diet and aids their overall health and wellbeing.

    7. Synthetic fertilisers – helping to save the lives of many plants

    Synthetic fertilizers are “man-made” inorganic compounds that help save the lives of many plants that otherwise could die prematurely.

    This is important as many plants can aid human health and wellbeing.

    6. Anaesthesia – has made many life-saving procedures possible

    Without the invention of anaesthesia, many major life-saving surgeries, such as open-heart surgery, organ transplants and brain surgery, amongst other important things, would not be possible.

    Naturally, the invention of anaesthesia has made these life-saving procedures possible and thus saved millions of lives.

    5. Radiology – has helped to identify many dangerous diseases

    Radiology is a medical branch that uses imaging technology to diagnose and treat dangerous diseases accurately.

    By correctly identifying these diseases early, medical professionals are in a better position to offer the best healthcare possible to save lives.

    4. Water Chlorination – making water safe for everyone

    Water chlorination has saved millions of lives as it has made water safe to consume by successfully killing harmful bacteria, viruses and other microbes in the water. This has, of course, helped to prevent the spread of waterborne diseases and saved many lives.

    3. Blood transfusions – often the difference between life and death

    Blood transfusion involves transferring blood into a person’s circulation system through an intravenous method. These transfusions are used to replace any blood loss in a person and can often be the difference between life and death.

    2. Bifurcated Needle – aided in getting rid of smallpox

    The invention of the bifurcated needle is often credited with being the tool which helped to get rid of the dreaded smallpox disease. This tool used to implement the smallpox vaccine helped save millions of lives from that terrible disease.

    1. Vaccines – have saved countless lives

    In first place on our list of the top ten inventions that saved millions of lives is vaccines. Vaccines work by injecting people with a harmless form of the bacteria or virus that causes the disease you are being immunized against.

    These vaccines have helped to protect people against diseases that could otherwise kill them, so they have been instrumental in saving millions of lives.

    That concludes our article on what we believe were the top ten best inventions that have saved millions of lives since their creation. Are there any other great inventions that you think deserve a place on our list?
