Maybe it shouldn't surprise me, but I was nevertheless surprised to see that Toronto General Hospital was voted the fourth best in the world in Newsweek/Statista's 2020 list of the World's Best Hospitals.
Based on the recommendations of medical professionals, patient surveys, analysis of top researchers and surgeons, and several other key medical performance indicators, Toronto's humble (and often much maligned) downtown hospital comes in after only the prestigious American hospitals Mayo Clinic, Cleveland Clinic and Massachusetts General as the best in the world, ahead of Johns Hopkins Hospital, Zurich University Hospital, and many another famous institution.
Two other Canadian hospitals feature in the top 30, Sunnybrook at No. 24 and Mt. Sinai at No. 29, both ahead of anything in the UK, Australia or Italy. Ah, how we undersell our health system!
