The structures to be considered for the world ranking are selected on the basis of the “nominations” suggested by health experts, considering the results of the surveys conducted on patients and the performance indicators of the health structures (quality of treatments, hygiene measures, and patient safety, ratio of patients per doctor and per nurse). After selecting the hospitals in this way, a board of international experts evaluates them and draws up the world ranking. In the top five positions, again this year, there are three US hospitals: the Mayo Clinic (Rochester), the Cleveland Clinic (Cleveland) and the Massachusetts General Hospital (Boston). And only one European: the university hospital of the Charite in Berlin (5th). Globally, Gemini is ranked in thirty-seventh position.

For each of these, the “best” hospitals in 21 countries around the world have been identified: on the basis of the standard of living and life expectancy, the size of the population, the number of facilities and the availability of data. The survey, as every year, was answered by over eighty thousand, including doctors and patients from the states identified.
