Newsweek Magazine entered into a partnership with a global market research firm to rank the best hospitals in 11 industrialized countries: Canada, the United States, the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Israel, Japan, Switzerland, South Korea, Singapore and Australia.

One thousand hospitals were ranked, based on recommendations from medical professionals, patient surveys and medical performance measures, such as data on the quality of treatment, hygiene and patient safety.
