Measuring Excellence: How the Ranking Works
The Newsweek/Statista World’s Best Hospitals ranking evaluates over 2,500 hospitals across 32 countries using a rigorous methodology built on four data sources: hospital quality metrics, recommendations from medical experts worldwide, results from patient surveys, and Statista’s Patient-Reported Outcome Measures (PROMs) Implementation Survey. By capturing perspectives from both clinicians and patients, the ranking reflects how each institution is advancing clinical research and improving real-world patient outcomes.
Sheba’s recognition extends beyond this flagship list. The medical center is also ranked among Newsweek’s World’s Best Smart Hospitals and Best Specialized Hospitals, cementing its place among the most distinguished medical institutions in the world.
