Example of (relatively modern) medical discoveries found by religion?

I'm trying to find a medical discovery similar to this:

The ancient egyptians found channels (pathways) in the body that held organs etc. This lead up to the understanding of human anatomy.

Is there any relatively modern medical discoveries found by religion like that?

Relatively meaning 1800s to now?

Update:

egyptians believed bad crop is because of gods

fixed problem by irrigation channels

linked that to the body

body has "Channels" like nasal cavity

leads to understanding of human anatomy

mummification - pulling brain out of nasal cavity

    Essentially 100% of our medical progress in the recent century has been the result of trial-and-error testing. I mean, some religious people were probably involved in said discoveries.... buuuuuuut.

    I mean, religion just tells you *not* to do things, doesn't it? It's essentially the opposite of progress.

    Countless lives have been saved since a Jewish nurse's examined the biblical practice of hand-washing after touching a dead body.

    Religions contribution to anatomy stops with the "soul" which ahs no verifiable tangible proof.

    Maybe you should look to science instead?

    please remember highly intelligent beings lived in that time

    our family whether they were negative or positive beings in the time of Egypt lol

    they were the ones who helped build pyramids & the beings both negative & positive living together

    so it was a complicated mix up in the time of Egypt, but everything is okay now

    all is well in this time of this present lol seriously
