THE WORLD'S BEST SPECIALIZED HOSPITALS 2025
Newsweek US
|September 27, 2024
MOST OF US WILL NEED TO SEE A SPECIALIST AT some point, whether it's an obstetrician, a cardiologist, an orthopedist or another. But seeking care outside of your primary physician can be daunting. To help patients make these important decisions, Newsweek is partnering with Statista for the fifth year to rank the World's Best Specialized Hospitals.
This year's list recognizes hospitals across 12 different medical fields-the top 300 hospitals for cardiology and oncology; the top 250 for pediatrics; the top 150 for cardiac surgery, endocrinology, gastroenterology, orthopedics and pulmonology; the top 125 for neurology, neurosurgery and urology; and the top 100 for obstetrics & gynecology.
The ranking is determined by a global survey in which tens of thousands of medical professionals were invited to give recommendations in their area of expertise. It also factors in accreditation data and patient-reported outcome measures.
This year's list features recognizable names-like the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota, and Charité in Berlin-and hospitals across the globe, with Australia, Brazil, India, Japan and Spain among represented countries. We hope this list helps you find the highest-quality specialized care whenever you might need it.
