The main characteristics of «first class» hospitals
As the authors of the survey explain: «These are difficult times for hospitals. COVID-19 has taken a toll on healthcare systems, as well as inflation and global financial uncertainty. In the United States and around the world, major hospitals are facing rising costs, aging populations, and exhausted medical staffs fighting a global pandemic.
“The hallmarks of large hospitals, however, are not just world-class care, research and innovation. The best institutions also share another quality: consistency. The world’s best hospitals consistently attract the best people and deliver the best patient outcomes, as well as the hottest new therapies and research. Of all the hospitals in the world, relatively few can do all of these things year after year. The best belong to a very exclusive club».
The selection criteria
This year they were ranked over 2,300 hospitals in 28 countries, including a new one: Taiwan. For the first time, all of the top 250 hospitals in the world have been ranked.

The World’s Best Hospitals 2023 ranking also includes new hospital quality metrics, notably data from the Israel National Program for Quality Indicators (INPQ) for Israel and the Danish Clinical Quality Program for Denmark.
