      No, there isn’t now and I don’t think there ever will be. Diseases evolve (microbes evolve, cancer cells evolve). If we develop new defenses, the diseases will also evolve in response.
      That being said, we’ve made gigantic progress over the last 100 years or so, with the development of vaccines, antibiotics, chemotherapy etc. There are diseases that were deadly a century ago that are no longer a problem today. So I believe things will continue to improve in terms of healthcare, but diseases will never disappear.
