Sheba Medical Center, located at Tel Hashomer just outside of Tel Aviv in Israel, has recently been honored with a remarkable distinction, achieving the 9th position among the world's leading hospitals in the prestigious Newsweek magazine ranking. This notable recognition places Sheba just a notch below the esteemed Pitié-Salpêtrière Hospital in Paris, which occupies the 8th position.
This global recognition by Newsweek was the result of a comprehensive evaluation process that considered over 2,400 medical centers from more than 30 countries around the world. Nestled on the outskirts of Tel Aviv, Sheba Medical Center stands out for its unparalleled medical services and state-of-the-art healthcare facilities.

Sheba Medical Center, a fixture in the top 10 rankings and making a comeback this year after a brief hiatus, boasts a rich history as Israel's inaugural military hospital. It has since evolved into the nation's largest civilian hospital, providing care to over 1 million patients each year. The hospital's vast campus includes 159 medical departments and clinics, 33 cutting-edge laboratories, and four specialized hospitals dedicated to acute care, rehabilitation, and women's and children's health.
A standout innovation at Sheba is the ARC Center for Digital Innovation's development of "Aidoc" in 2018. This artificial intelligence tool, designed to enhance healthcare systems, is now implemented in over 1,000 hospitals globally. Aidoc's capability to swiftly and accurately analyze medical images has proven invaluable, particularly in emergency situations such as the aftermath of the October 7 attack by Hamas, where it played a crucial role in saving lives by identifying urgent medical issues among the influx of casualties.

Sheba Medical Center's accolade is part of a broader narrative that highlights Israel's prominence as a center of medical excellence and innovation. This is further evidenced by the rankings of other Israeli institutions, with Ichilov Hospital in Tel Aviv and Beilinson Hospital in Petah Tikva securing the 64th and 158th spots, respectively.
The global acclaim for Sheba and other Israeli hospitals underscores the country's commitment to advancing healthcare and its capacity to offer leading-edge medical treatments and innovations. With the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota, USA, leading the list, followed by the Cleveland Clinic in Ohio, and Toronto General - University Health Network in Canada, the rankings illuminate the global landscape of healthcare excellence, with Israel firmly positioned as a key player.
