Schulthess: Award for fourth best orthopaedic clinic worldwide
Schulthess Klinik has once again confirmed its leading position in the international healthcare sector. In the latest hospital rankings published by the renowned US magazine "Newsweek" and the research institute "Statista", Schulthess Klinik was named the fourth best orthopaedic clinic in the world and the second best in Europe.
The excellent ranking in the "World's Best Specialized Hospitals 2025" and "World's Best Smart Hospitals 2025" confirms Schulthess Klinik's leading role in orthopaedics and underlines the clinic's consistent service excellence. Only the Hospital For Special Surgery and the Mayo Clinic in the USA and Charité - Universitätsmedizin Berlin are better placed in the ranking. In fourth place, Schulthess Klinik equaled its previous best result from the previous year. Previously, it was in sixth place worldwide in the rankings between 2021 and 2023.
Since 2023, "Newsweek" and "Statista" have also been ranking the best "Smart Hospitals". This evaluates the technological and digital progress of individual hospitals. Schulthess Klinik is also recognized in the current list.
Methodology and recognition of excellence
The rankings are based on an extensive online survey of tens of thousands of doctors and healthcare professionals worldwide, as well as an analysis of accreditation data and a study of Patient Reported Outcome Measures (PROMs). The excellent results reflect the high level of trust placed in Schulthess Klinik by the medical community.
Continuous improvement and international recognition
"It is very pleasing that our practiced service excellence is also bearing fruit internationally. We owe this to the tireless efforts of our employees - that makes me very proud," says Andrea Rytz, CEO of Schulthess Klinik. "The continuous recognition in the ranking motivates us to continue investing in innovation, research and the best medical care for our patients." Schulthess Klinik has thus been able to steadily improve its position in the "World's Best Specialized Hospitals" ranking since 2021. This underlines its important role as a leading global center for orthopaedic surgery and treatment.
