Toronto has many first-rate institutions with some of the best medical care in the world.
Now, for the third year in a row, Newsweek named Toronto General Hospital one of the best in the world.
The hospital remains in the same spot as last year, as the fourth-best hospital in the world.
It is also the only Canadian hospital in the top 10.
Toronto General is part of University Health Network (UHN), Canada’s largest research and teaching hospital, affiliated with the University of Toronto.
Since it first opened in 1819, Toronto General is known for some “world firsts,” such as the first clinical use of insulin, the first successful single- and double-lung transplants, the first transplant using the Ex Vivo Lung Perfusion System, and the first successful direct stimulation of a heart that had stopped beating — the precursor of all pacemakers.
UHN’s Toronto General Hospital has been named the 4th best hospital in the world by @Newsweek — the third straight year in the top 10! It’s a privilege to serve as Canada’s leading academic health sciences centre.
