Forbes Israel’s 2024 list includes 186 specialties and subspecialties and features 1,386 doctors from medical centers, institutions, and hospitals across the country. Sheba Medical Center leads in nearly 50% of these categories. The list evaluates doctors based on clinical excellence, research impact, and patient care, highlighting Sheba’s leadership in cardiology, oncology, neurology, and pediatrics. These accolades affirm Sheba’s role in advancing medical standards and innovation.
Innovation, Leadership and Excellence in Healthcare
In the realm of rehabilitation, a remarkable 38% of Israel’s top rehabilitation doctors are from Sheba. We are proud to be the first medical center to establish the “Returning to Life” unit for war victims during the Iron Swords operation, providing a professional and humane home that has treated hundreds of soldiers and citizens.
In internal medicine, 25% of the top doctors in this field in Israel are part of Sheba’s internal departments. This is a particularly heartening statistic, given the substantial investment and immense importance Sheba places on patient experience in its internal medicine departments, which care for severely and complexly ill patients.
In the field of cardiothoracic surgery, about a quarter of the surgeons are from Sheba. In oncology, Sheba is first among hospitals in Israel, with 10 oncologists and 12 hematology specialists on the list. In obstetrics, gynecology, and fertility, Sheba continues to lead this year, with 20% of the top doctors in these fields being from Sheba.
This achievement adds to the international recognition Sheba received earlier this year when it was ranked 9th globally by Newsweek, alongside renowned institutions such as Mayo Clinic and Cleveland Clinic. As a top-tier international hospital, Sheba sets benchmarks in medical standards and patient care. Sheba’s commitment to advancing global healthcare through continuous improvement and collaboration positions it as a leader in the healthcare sector.
