Desde su fundación en febrero de 1933, Newsweek ha informado sobre los avances en medicina, la ciencia y la búsqueda de buena salud y buena atención. En ese contexto, desde hace algunos años elabora un ránking dando cuenta de los mejores hospitales que hay en el mundo.
En asociación con la empresa de investigación global de datos Statista Inc, Newsweek primero clasifica a 21 países con buen nivel de clínicas entre los que no se encuentra Argentina. A partir de allí, elabora una lista de 100 hospitales de gran calidad.
"Los investigadores y expertos que ayudan a construir esta lista autorizada son muy conscientes de lo que está sucediendo en los hospitales de todo el mundo y pueden, con confianza, identificar los que establecen el estándar para una atención excelente", remarcó la organización.
La tabla a continuación muestra los 100 principales hospitales. Los números 1-50 se clasifican según las recomendaciones, mientras que los números 51-100 se ordenan alfabéticamente. En la última columna se especifica la cantidad de camas de cada clínica.
