The recognition features PGIMER among leading healthcare institutions internationally across five specialised fields: Cardiology, Endocrinology, Oncology, Pediatrics and Pulmonology<\/em>. The ranking, published on the Newsweek website on September 17, 2026, also features in the accompanying print edition of the magazine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The seventh edition of the World\u2019s Best Specialized Hospitals ranking evaluates leading hospitals across major medical specialities. According to the accompanying communication from Newsweek and Statista, the assessment considers parameters including reputation, accreditation and the implementation of Patient-Reported Outcome Measures (PROMs), which capture patients\u2019 perspectives on their health and treatment outcomes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n PGIMER\u2019s recognition across five specialities underscores its comprehensive approach to advanced healthcare, supported by multidisciplinary clinical teams, specialised treatment facilities, research-driven practices and a strong academic environment. As a premier national institute, PGIMER continues to serve patients from across India, providing specialised and tertiary-level care while advancing medical education and research.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The inclusion of Cardiology, Endocrinology, Oncology, Pediatrics and Pulmonology reflects the breadth of specialised services offered by the Institute and the importance of sustained collaboration among clinicians, researchers and healthcare professionals in improving patient outcomes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The recognition also reinforces the importance of quality standards, institutional credibility and patient-reported outcomes in assessing healthcare delivery. These dimensions are increasingly significant in ensuring that excellence is measured not only by clinical expertise and infrastructure but also by the quality of care experienced by patients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For PGIMER, the honour represents both an acknowledgement of its continuing contributions to specialised medicine and a renewed responsibility to advance accessible, evidence-based and compassionate healthcare.<\/p>\n\n\n\n As PGIMER moves forward, its focus remains on strengthening clinical services, fostering innovation, expanding research and ensuring that the benefits of medical advancement translate into better outcomes for patients and their families.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Established in 1962, PGIMER, Chandigarh, is a premier medical education, research and tertiary-care institution in India.
