The collaboration between the American media Newsweek and the German statistics portal Statista has made it possible to know the ranking of the best hospitals in the world, which includes 2,400 institutions and two selected health centers from different countries such as Colombia.

Newsweek editor Nancy Cooper said each hospital’s score was based on an online survey of more than 85,000 professionals. Additionally, information such as patient surveys, patient/physician ratios, and measures used by each institution to evaluate the care provided were cross-referenced. “The Newsweek-Statista rankings provide important information for patients, families and healthcare executives looking to profile an industry expected to generate $4.24 trillion worldwide by 2024,” Cooper said. Moreover, he said, the first 250 positions correspond to those health centers that have better adaptability of their systems or infiltration in Artificial Intelligence (AI).
