The Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto has topped a new list ranking the world’s top pediatric hospitals.
The list was released by Newsweek and Statista as part of a wider ranking of the best specialized hospitals across the globe.
The magazine says that the rankings are based on the results of a survey “in which tens of thousands of medical professionals were invited to give recommendations in their area of expertise.”

“As we’ve celebrated our 150th anniversary this year, I’ve often remarked that the care, research and learning that happen at SickKids are second to none — this ranking reaffirms that,” SickKids CEO Dr. Ronald Cohn said in a press release.
The newest list bumps SickKids up to number one from the second spot in last year’s rankings, replacing the Boston Children’s Hospital.
