The Register
The Listed 100
Hospitals in India, the United Kingdom and the GCC states that appear on at least one of the named third-party lists below, grouped by country and listed alphabetically. The Healthcare Daily does not rank hospitals.
The lists we use
Each list is compiled by its publisher. Positions are shown as each list prints them.
-
Statista scored hospitals within each country on hospital quality metrics (40 per cent), peer recommendations from an online survey of medical experts (30 per cent national, 5 per cent international), patient experience data (18.5 per cent) and its PROMs Implementation Survey (6.5 per cent), and lists specialised hospitals separately without a rank.
-
The global top 250 was determined mainly by the number of international recommendations each hospital received in the survey and its national rank, with quality, patient experience, PROMs and bibliometric measures also taken into account, and it excludes specialised hospitals.
