Sheba Medical Center at Tel HaShomer in Ramat Gan ranked seventh globally in Newsweek‘s “World’s Best Hospitals 2026” list released on Wednesday, the highest-ever position for an Israeli institution.

The Israeli medical center climbed one spot from last year, when Newsweek ranked it the eighth-best hospital in the world, the highest rating for an Asian or Israeli hospital.

This year, Sheba came in after world-renowned medical institutions such as the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn., the Cleveland Clinic in Ohio and Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore, Md., which ranked sixth.
