The 2026 edition of the “Best Specialized Hospitals Asia Pacific” ranking, released last month by U.S.-based magazine Newsweek in partnership with the German data research firm Statista, recognizes a total of 925 premier hospitals across 11 countries and territories, including those with prestigious healthcare systems like Australia, Japan, Singapore, and South Korea.<\/p>\n

Newsweek attributed Vietnam’s debut in the rankings to the country’s “rapidly developing healthcare infrastructure and clinical advancements.”<\/p>\n

The 11 Vietnamese representatives feature major public tertiary centers such as Bach Mai Hospital, Cho Ray Hospital, Viet Duc Friendship Hospital, Hue Central Hospital, and Hospital 19-8.<\/p>\n

Private healthcare providers also made a strong showing. Recognized private institutions are Hanoi French Hospital, FV Hospital, Hong Ngoc General Hospital, Thu Cuc General Hospital, Vinmec Da Nang International Hospital, and Phuong Dong General Hospital.<\/p>\n

The inclusion of both public and private facilities highlights Vietnam’s expanding capacity for advanced medical care.<\/p>\n

Newsweek noted that the global landscape of specialist healthcare is evolving rapidly, driven by technological advances, clinical breakthroughs, and aging populations.<\/p>\n

Hospitals across the Asia-Pacific are setting new benchmarks for specialized treatment. The ranking covers 10 distinct specialties: cardiology, oncology, pediatrics, neurology, cardiac surgery, endocrinology, neurosurgery, orthopedics, pulmonology, and gastroenterology. The latter was added to the assessment for the first time this year.<\/p>\n

South Korean hospitals dominated the 2026 rankings, leading in nine out of 10 specialties. A Japanese hospital secured the top position in the remaining category of neurosurgery.<\/p>\n

The rankings focus strictly on actual specialist expertise rather than hospital size or brand recognition.<\/p>\n

Scores were calculated using data gathered between February and March 2026. Thousands of physicians, hospital executives, and healthcare professionals across the region participated in an online assessment.<\/p>\n

Reputation accounted for the majority of a hospital’s score, making up 83.5% of the total. This was based on peer recommendations in primary, secondary, and tertiary fields, encompassing both international and national endorsements.<\/p>\n

Accreditations and certifications contributed another 10% to the final score.<\/p>\n

The remaining 6.5% was determined by patient-reported outcome measures, commonly known as PROMs. These patient-completed questionnaires measure perceptions of functional well-being and quality of life. The survey assessed how effectively hospitals implement this data to improve care processes and support clinical decision-making.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The 2026 edition of the “Best Specialized Hospitals Asia Pacific” ranking, released last month by U.S.-based magazine Newsweek…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":782308,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[34],"tags":[370016,64,63,137,500],"class_list":["post-782307","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-healthcare","tag-11-vietnamese-hospitals-named-among-asia-pacific","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-health","tag-healthcare"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/782307","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=782307"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/782307\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/782308"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=782307"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=782307"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=782307"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
