YU Medical Center (Director Kim Sung-ho) was ranked first place in the Yeongnam region for the ‘World’s Best Hospitals 2020’ selected by News Week of the US on the 13th.

  This survey was conducted through a partnership with the global data survey company, Statista Inc of Germany. It analyzed medical experts (55% national, 5% foreign where hospital is located), patient satisfaction levels, and medical performance indices (KPI) to rank hospitals in 21 countries.

  When considering that domestic medical experts assessment account for a large portion of the evaluations, the recent ranking shows that YU Medical Center is a prominent hospital that domestic medical experts recommend. In particular, as most of the hospitals in the top 20 are large general hospitals of the capital area including the Big 5, YU Medical Center clearly showed its presence as a leading private university hospital of the region.

  Director Kim Sung-ho said, “We will not become complacent with these results, but continue to work hard to improve the quality of research and medicine so that more patients can become healthy in the future.”
