We are proud to see the Centre Hospitalier Universitaire Vaudois (CHUV) ranked 21st best hospital worldwide in the 2026 ranking published by Newsweek in collaboration with Statista.
Out of 2,530 hospitals evaluated across 32 countries, the top 250 were selected based on four key criteri.
This recognition goes far beyond a ranking. It reflects the strength of Lausanne’s unique ecosystem internationally known as the “Health Valley”.
Why “Health Valley”? Because here, excellence in healthcare is not isolated, it is interconnected.
In Lausanne and the Lake Geneva region, leading institutions such as CHUV | Lausanne university hospital collaborate closely with research and innovation hubs including the University of Lausanne – UNIL and the EPFL.
Together, they foster groundbreaking research, cutting-edge medical technologies, and world-class patient care.
It is this powerful combination: clinical excellence, academic research, innovation, and international collaboration that positions Lausanne among the most dynamic life sciences clusters in Europe.
