A couple dumb assumptions here:
1. That diseases are necessarily curable. Many are treatable, but its pretty hard to reverse biology.
2. That treatments count for nothing if they can't 'cure' a disease.
Medicine is very young when you consider how recent the majority of meaningful advancements are. We are basically just getting started. My father was born right around the time emergency medicine became its own specialty. I help save many people from things they would have just died from less than 100 years ago. Far less in some cases.
And we use products and treatments from BiG pHaRmA sometimes. It isn't as simple as just curing things. There are many parts and most things will never be cured solely by a pharmaceutical company.
Cures are awesome, but they aren't the only option lest everything else be damned.
