Sheba Medical Center<\/a> rose to seventh place in Newsweek and Statista\u2019s 2026 World\u2019s Best Hospitals ranking<\/a>, extending its streak to eight years on the list, it announced on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

The Ramat Gan hospital said the result reflected both its clinical performance and its growing role in medical innovation, including AI partnerships, digital health initiatives, and expanded precision medicine infrastructure.<\/p>\n

Sheba<\/a> said it treats more than 2 million patients annually and pointed to recent developments tied to its ARC Innovation Center (Accelerate, Redesign, Collaborate), its global start-up and health innovation ecosystem.<\/p>\n

Among the initiatives highlighted by the hospital was the launch of a Boston-based healthcare start-up accelerator in partnership with the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, which Sheba said is aimed at advancing digital and AI-driven health solutions.<\/p>\n

Sheba also pointed to a three-year collaboration involving Nvidia and the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai in New York, focused on using AI and large language models to study the 98% of the human genome that remains less understood, with the goal of improving disease prevention, diagnostics, and precision medicine.<\/p>\n

The hospital further cited the opening of the Roman Abramovich Theranostics and Nuclear Medicine Center<\/a>, which it said is expected to treat more than 16,000 patients a year. Sheba described the center as a major step in expanding advanced nuclear medicine and personalized care, including RNA-based therapy.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis achievement is emblematic of our ongoing commitment to transforming healthcare on a global scale, which has been recognized by our colleagues around the world,\u201d said Prof. Yitshak Kreiss, Sheba\u2019s director-general and CEO.<\/p>\n

\u201cFrom the EU to the USA, from Albania to Australia, Singapore, the Gulf, and beyond, Sheba is creating global impact via its prescriptions for both evolutionary medical care, as well as providing the seeds for economic growth through AI and digital innovation.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Newsweek\/Statista ranking evaluated more than 2,400 hospitals across 30 countries and was based on multiple inputs, including hospital quality metrics, recommendations from medical experts, patient survey results, and Statista\u2019s survey on the implementation of patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs).<\/p>\n

Newsweek\u2019s 2025 ranking placed Sheba eighth globally, meaning the reported 2026 result would mark another rise for the medical center if reflected in the newly published list.<\/p>\n

Sheba has regularly emphasized its dual role as both a national referral center and an international medical innovation hub, with the ARC center serving as a central platform for collaborations in AI, digital medicine, and clinical research.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Sheba Medical Center rose to seventh place in Newsweek and Statista\u2019s 2026 World\u2019s Best Hospitals ranking, extending its…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":317310,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[34],"tags":[103,397,396,3175,61,60,147961,147960,147959],"class_list":["post-317309","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-healthcare","tag-health","tag-health-care","tag-healthcare","tag-hospital","tag-ie","tag-ireland","tag-israeli-health-care","tag-israeli-hospitals","tag-sheba-medical-center"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/317309","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=317309"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/317309\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/317310"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=317309"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=317309"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=317309"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
