The #1 is likely Louis Pasteur. He solidified the germ theory (that germs make us sick) and also shed light on a lot of microbiology. He invented Pasteurization and many other things. His discoveries have since saved millions of people. Interestingly, one of his first discoveries was how to preserve beer using his newfound science of germs. Before the germ theory, people held the miasma theory: That "bad air" caused diseases.

Louis Pasteur helped improved the survival of hospital patients by establishing the germ theory of illnesses, which led to increased emphasis on cleanliness. He also pioneered the use of vaccines (artificially weakened germs) to prevent diseases to which patients might be exposed.
