Evaluation Criteria
The “World’s Best Hospitals & Clinics for Medical Tourism 2027” ranking recognises leading hospitals and clinics in medical tourism worldwide, helping patients make informed decisions when choosing where to receive care.
The ranking is based on five key assessment areas: recommendations from peers, including medical professionals and medical tourism facilitators; accreditations and certifications; patient experience and public trust; patient services and support; and the Statista Medical Tourism Facility Survey.
Specialised Care
The assessment covers healthcare facilities across 13 destinations worldwide, including Saudi Arabia, and spans six major medical specialties: bariatric surgery, cancer care, cardiac care and cardiac surgery, ophthalmology, orthopaedics, and plastic and reconstructive surgery.
The assessment also incorporates a Global Recognition Score, based on the results of Newsweek and Statista’s “World’s Best Hospitals 2026” and “World’s Best Specialised Hospitals 2027” rankings, reflecting healthcare facilities’ international standing and performance in delivering specialised care.
Patient Experience
Patient experience is one of the key components of the ranking. The assessment process includes reviewing feedback published on specialised international platforms, including WhatClinic, MedicalTourism.review and Bookimed, alongside analysing content published across news websites, blogs and social media platforms. This helps assess public sentiment, the digital reputation of healthcare facilities, audience engagement and the reach of their online content.
The evaluation also considers services designed specifically for international patients, including remote consultations and follow-up, continuity of care before and after treatment, travel and accommodation arrangements, administrative and language support, and pricing transparency.
An Integrated Healthcare Network
Magrabi Health continues to develop its services and simplify the administrative and logistical arrangements involved in accessing healthcare, enhancing the patient experience throughout every stage of care.
The group draws on its expertise across ophthalmology, ENT and dentistry, alongside aesthetic services offered through its Mayam Aesthetics. It also continues to invest in medical expertise, innovation and advanced technologies to further enhance the quality of its healthcare services.
Healthcare Transformation
This achievement comes amid the ongoing development of Saudi Arabia’s healthcare sector under the objectives of Vision 2030 and the Health Sector Transformation Program, which aim to improve the quality of healthcare services, facilitate access to care and enhance the overall beneficiary experience. These efforts are strengthening the sector’s competitiveness and supporting the Kingdom’s position as a global destination for healthcare and medical tourism.
