Starting a sentence with not

Can a sentence begin with " not"? If yes , what kind of a sentence is that?

Example:

Not many people visited the palace last year.


I was reading a book and I read a sentence " Medicine and health IS improving.


Is it even possible? Shouldn't have the writer written " are" instead?


In the sentence " he thought happiness is the way to measure the country's development. " what is the role of highlighted words.?
