Newsweek’s World’s Best Hospitals 2023: These Are the Best Hospitals in Canada

Toronto General Hospital was selected as the 5th best hospital in the world by Newsweek.

Presented by Newsweek and Statista Inc., the World’s Best Hospitals 2023 recognizes the best medical institutions across 28 countries: USA, Germany, Japan, South Korea, France, Italy, United Kingdom, Spain, Brazil, Canada, India, Australia, Mexico, The Netherlands, Austria, Thailand, Switzerland, Sweden, Belgium, Finland, Norway, Denmark, Israel, Singapore, United Arab Emirates, Colombia, Saudi Arabia, and Taiwan.

World’s Best Hospitals 2023 ranks more than 2,300 hospitals based on four criteria:

• Hospital recommendations from Medical Experts: an international online survey sent to more than 80,000 healthcare professionals
• Patient Experience: survey of patient satisfaction with hospitalization
• Patient Reported Outcome Measures (PROM): surveys measuring patient satisfaction with hospitals
• Hospital Quality Metrics: patient safety, hygiene measures, waiting times and quality of treatment

According to Newsweek,  the scores were calculated for each hospital in each of the above four categories and weighted to arrive at the best hospitals in each country: Peer recommendation (49% national, 5% international): patient experience (14.5%), hospital quality metrics (29%), PROMs implementation (2.5%).

Newsweek says the top global hospitals were determined by the number of international recommendations received in the survey and their national rank and the global list does not include specialized hospitals.

This is the fourth time Toronto General has appeared in the top 5 in World’s Best Hospitals list. Toronto General is the only hospital in Canada in the top 10 list.

Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre (No. 22), Mount Sinai Hospital (No. 26), North York General Hospital (55), and Centre hospitalier de l’Université de Montréal (99) appear in the top 100.

 

 

Newsweek also ranked the best hospitals in each country.  Newsweek lists 80 hospitals in Canada as the best hospitals in the country.
