Health is a fundamental part of any country. At present it has been demonstrated but it has always been like that. That is why it is a sector in which you should never skimp on investment. It is generally thought that only the most advanced countries have top-level facilities, but this is not entirely true. The largest example can be seen with a Mexican hospital that made history and is now considered one of the best in the world.
What does it take to have a world-renowned hospital?
In this case we refer to the annual ranking of Newsweek magazine and the Statista database. This 2022 the updated version with the best hospitals in the world. They are the ones with equipment with the most advanced technology of the moment and highly trained personnel. That is why they are considered the highest level.
To arrive at the final results, surveys were conducted of more than 80,000 medical professionals in 27 countries. In addition, three parameters were considered:
- Recommendations from medical experts (doctors, hospital managers, health professionals).
- Results of patient surveys.
- Performance of doctors in hospitals.
Hospitals from countries such as the United States, Canada, Germany and France appear in the first places. Up to this point there are no big surprises because they are the same ones that usually appear in all the rankings.
The surprise is that the the only Mexican hospital that appears among the best in the world is the National Institute of Medical Sciences and Nutrition “Salvador Zubirán” (INCMNSZ). It does not have a fixed number and was only included between positions 151 and 250.
The Salvador Zubirán National Institute of Medical Sciences and Nutrition has been considered for the second consecutive year as one of the Best Specialty Hospitals in the World.

Now, this distinction should come as no surprise because it is the second consecutive year that it obtains this distinction. In the end, the INCMNSZ is the only one that appears in Mexico and its quality and level of excellence stand out. This implies both the advanced technological equipment that it has, as well as the preparation and attention of its workers.
In this sense, the hospital is recognized for being essential to face the influenza and Covid-19 crises that have attacked Mexico in recent years. In both cases, he has offered exemplary care to patients who have needed care.
On the other hand, what is considered the only Mexican hospital that appears among the best in the world is also recognized for serving famous people who prefer it over others in the private sector.
