One of the objectives is to know the institutions with the most outstanding performance in patient care. Do you know who make up the first places?
The world after the pandemic
First of all, it is necessary to talk about Current state of the healthcare industry in the world. The Covid-19 pandemic revealed that there is a lot of work to be done. The results showed that the majority of countries were not prepared to face such a large emergency of this type.
Beyond the investment that each nation focuses on this sector, the other problem is the shortage of doctors. Around this topic, the World Economic Forum (WEF) carried out in January 2023 presented the results of the investigation Why is the world now facing a medical recruitment crisis?
What he mentions is that the pandemic complicated the work of health professionals. As of 2020 there was an increase in the levels of Burnout Syndrome within this sector. As a consequence, a loss of passion was generated within the people in charge of caring for the patients.
The most alarming point of the work is that it ensures that if the trend continues then by 2030 there will be a deficit of 10 million doctors worldwide.
On the other hand, now is the time to know the positive aspect of this industry. With this in mind, since 2019 Newsweek magazine and the Statista database have carried out an analysis of more than two thousand hospitals from more than twenty nations. The most recent edition of the research is the World’s Best Hospitals 2023 ranking.

Criteria for choosing the best private hospitals in Mexico
- Online survey with experts (doctors, hospital directors, health professionals). We asked participants to recommend hospitals. We limit the possibility of bias by excluding recommendations for employers/workplaces.
- Results of patient experience surveys. In order to determine the patient experience, we use data from existing public surveys. In general terms, insurers conduct these surveys at the end of the hospital stay. Among the topics analyzed are: satisfaction with the hospital, hospital recommendation and satisfaction with medical care.
- Key Medical Performance Indicators (KPIs) for hospitals (for example, data on quality of treatment and hygiene measures). We collect KPIs from various public sources. The information analyzed included data on the quality of care for specific treatments, patient hygiene and safety measures, as well as data on the number of patients per doctor and per nurse.
