Toronto General among the world’s top 10 hospitals

March 27, 2019


Kevin SmithTORONTO – Toronto General Hospital (TGH), Mayo Clinic, Cleveland Clinic and others were named the 10 best hospitals in the world in a global ranking. TGH is cited for leading transplant research and innovation, including a triple organ transplant, and for cardiovascular care at its Peter Munk Cardiac Centre.

Published on March 20, the global ranking references 1,000 institutions and is managed by a global market research company in partnership with Newsweek magazine. The top 10 list was finalized by a panel of doctors, medical professionals and administrators across four continents.

The Newsweek rankings:
1. The Mayo Clinic
2. Cleveland Clinic
3. Singapore General Hospital
4. Johns Hopkins Hospital
5. Charité (Berlin)
6. Massachusetts General Hospital
7. Toronto General Hospital
8. University of Tokyo Hospital
9. Lausanne University Hospital (Switzerland)
10. Sheba Medical Center at Tel HaShomer (Israel)

TGH is a member of University Health Network (UHN), Canada’s largest health sciences research and education hospital, affiliated with the University of Toronto.

“UHN is proud to be recognized amongst this elite group of hospitals. This recognition is a testament to our staff, Board and volunteers – past and present,” says Dr. Kevin Smith (pictured), UHN president & CEO.

“UHN’s vision is to contribute to the creation of a healthier world. We have a global track record of success to build on thanks to the collaborative work of many people at UHN – which includes TGH, Princess Margaret Cancer Centre, Toronto Western Hospital, Toronto Rehab Institute and the Michener Institute of Education.

“None of this would be possible without the support of the Government of Ontario, the Government of Canada through the Tri-Councils, and especially our Foundations and donors who support our drive to excellence,” Dr. Smith says.

Among TGH’s world firsts, insulin was developed here in 1922 and saw its first clinical use in the treatment of diabetes. TGH performed the world’s first successful single and double lung transplant in 1983 and 1986. In 2008, TGH increased the number of donor organs available for transplant world-wide through the development of the Toronto Ex Vivo Perfusion System. In 1950, the first external heart pacemaker was used in an open-heart resuscitation.
