Newsweek and Statista, a news magazine and a website for statistical information, recently published the World’s Best Hospitals list, ranking 250 of the top global hospitals. Bumrungrad International Hospital, in Bangkok, ranks 182nd overall, with a 93% score, while the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota, is the top-ranked hospital.
The rankings were based on four data sources:
– An online survey completed by over 80,000 medical experts in 28 countries;
– Patient experience surveys;
– Hospital quality metrics, such as data on quality of treatment and hygiene measures;
– A survey on the implementation of Patient Reported Outcome Measures (PROMs).
The result is a good sign for Thailand’s plans to make the country into a global medical and wellness hub by 2026, which is expected to generate more employment, boost investment, and contribute to various related businesses, as well as promoting alternative medicine. (PRD)
