CLEVELAND, Ohio – For the sixth year in a row, the Cleveland Clinic main campus was named as the second-best hospital in the world in Newsweek’s list of the World’s Best Hospitals.
The 2024 rankings, released this week, also highlighted two more Clinic locations as among the top 250 hospitals in the world. The health system’s Abu Dhabi location ranked No. 186, and its Fairview hospital ranked No. 232.
The Clinic ranked No. 2 in both the world and in a separate listing for U.S. hospitals, behind only Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota.
Five additional Clinic locations were among the best U.S. hospitals — Fairview Hospital at No. 38, Florida at No. 45, Akron General at No. 93, Hillcrest at No. 112 and Avon at No. 336.
“At Cleveland Clinic, our goals are to be the best place to receive care anywhere and the best place to work in healthcare,” Clinic CEO Dr. Tom Mihaljevic said in a statement. “A recognition like this reflects on every one of our 81,000 caregivers worldwide, who are dedicated, compassionate and committed to our patients and our communities.”
After the Mayo Clinic and the Cleveland Clinic, the rest of the top five worldwide were Johns Hopkins in Baltimore (No. 3), Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston (No. 4) and UCLA Health — Ronald Reagan Medical Center (No. 5).
University Hospitals was No. 154 on the World’s Best Hospitals 2024 list, and No. 28 in the U.S.
Cleveland Clinic Abu Dhabi was ranked the No. 1 hospital in the United Arab Emirates.
Newsweek partnered with Statista, a data gathering firm, for its annual ranking of the world’s best hospitals. Rankings were based on surveys and data from 2,400 hospitals across 30 countries. Chile and Malaysia were added to the ranking for the first time this year, Newsweek said.
Rankings are based on four data sources: online surveys of more than 85,000 medical experts from around the world; patient experience surveys; hospital quality metrics; and patient reported outcome measures, which measure patients’ perception of their quality of life, Newsweek said.
The Newsweek rankings differ from annual rankings released by U.S. News and World Report.
In the latest of those rankings, released in July, the top U.S. hospital was Mayo Clinic, followed by Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles, NYU Langone Hospitals in New York and the Cleveland Clinic at No. 4. Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore and UCLA Medical Center tied for fifth place.
