Life expectancies are increasing and mortality rates are declining around the world. The pharmaceutical industry through its innovation and development are improving the health sector. Over the years, the contribution of the medical industry has been tremendous. Now vaccines for polio, measles, H1N1 flu, influenza, cholera, are readily available in most countries, which earlier costed the lives of many people.

The Nobel Prize is the top-award and was started by the will of Alfred Nobel, a Swedish chemist, engineer, and philanthropist, renowned for inventing dynamite. The award has been making a mark since 1901 when it was first awarded to Emil Adolf von Behring. Between 1901 and 2017, the prize has been awarded 108 times to 214 Nobel Laureates.
