Mitcham Private Hospital has been named in the third annual World’s Best Hospitals 2021 list.

Along with three other Ramsay Health Care Australia hospitals, Mitcham Private was listed in the top 2,000 facilities across the globe and in the top 45 facilities in Australia.

The World’s Best Hospitals 2021 initiative is a partnership between Newsweek and global data research firm Statista. This year’s study recognises hospitals across 25 countries for their “consistent excellence, particularly for their distinguished physicians, top-notch nursing care and state of the art technology”.

The World’s Best Hospitals 2021 report gave each hospital a percentage score based on recommendations from medical experts (55%), results from patient surveys (15%) and medical key performance indicators on hospitals (30%).

In the top Australian hospital rankings, Mitcham Private Hospital was 44th with a score of 69.66%.

Chief Executive Officer, Maree Mendola, said the honour reflected the incredible efforts of her team who put patients first throughout the pandemic.

“The COVID-19 pandemic created challenges for the entire health care system and I am so proud of our Mitcham Private team for their professionalism and dedication during such a difficult time. This is wonderful recognition,” Ms Mendola said.

Mitcham Private Hospital has been a part of the local community for 58 years and has always strived to provide high quality excellent care to all patients.
