The countries were selected based on multiple comparability factors, such as standard of living, life expectancy, population size, number of hospitals, and data availability.

The lists are based on four data sources:

• Recommendations from Medical Experts: Online survey among tens of thousands of doctors, health care professionals, and hospital managers in 30 countries
• Results from Patient Surveys: Survey of patient satisfaction with hospitalization
• Hospital Quality Metrics: Medical indicators e.g., data on quality of care for treatments, hygiene measures, patient safety, and waiting times.
• PROMs Implementation Survey: Optional online survey on the implementation and use of PROMs in hospitals.

Based on the above four pillars and their respective weights, a final source was calculated for each hospital.

“This achievement represents a resounding endorsement by our colleagues around the world. Sheba is working diligently to make Israel a better, healthier place and highlights our abilities to be both a center of medical excellence, as well as a beacon of co-existence, where Jewish and Arab medical personnel are working side by side 24/7 to save the lives of civilians and soldiers- Jews, Moslems and Christians alike,” said Professor Yitshak Kreiss, Director General of Sheba Medical Center. “The last five months have significantly challenged us and forced us to adapt.

Our mission to provide healthcare without boundaries, from trauma to rehab, repairing body and soul, rising above politics and conflict, is what makes Sheba Medical Center, a world class facility and a ray of hope for humanity.”
