Cleveland Clinic Abu Dhabi Secures Top Rankings Across Five Specialties in Newsweek’s 2027 World Rankings
The institution has achieved first place in the UAE across cardiac surgery, cardiology, nephrology, neurology and pulmonology, reinforcing its standing as a centre of clinical excellence.
Cleveland Clinic Abu Dhabi has been recognised in Newsweek’s World’s Best Specialised Hospitals 2027 rankings, claiming first position in the United Arab Emirates across five medical specialties. The distinction underscores the institution’s commitment to delivering exemplary patient care and reinforces its position among the world’s leading healthcare facilities.
The hospital achieved top ranking in the Emirates across Cardiac Surgery, Cardiology, Nephrology, Neurology, and Pulmonology. Developed by Newsweek in collaboration with Statista, these prestigious rankings identify leading hospitals across thirteen medical disciplines and establish an international standard for specialised care delivery. The recognition follows the facility’s earlier inclusion in Newsweek’s Best Specialised Hospitals Middle East 2026 rankings.
Dr. Georges-Pascal Haber, Chief Executive Officer of Cleveland Clinic Abu Dhabi, commented on the achievement: “Being recognised among the world’s best specialised hospitals for the first time is an important milestone and reflects our commitment to delivering exceptional care across Abu Dhabi, the UAE, and the wider region. Recognition across five specialties is a testament to the depth of our clinical expertise and the strength of our teams in delivering complex care at the highest standards.”
The institution also features in the global Oncology specialised rankings, reflecting ongoing developments in comprehensive cancer care provision through its Fatima bint Mubarak Center. Notably, fifteen hospitals from the United Arab Emirates appear in the 2027 global specialised rankings, demonstrating the nation’s expanding clinical capabilities and strengthened international healthcare presence.
These accolades complement Cleveland Clinic Abu Dhabi’s established record of independently validated clinical achievement. The hospital holds four Department of Health – Abu Dhabi Centers of Excellence designations, recognising excellence in adult cardiac surgery, stroke management, adult multi-organ transplantation, and breast cancer care. Additional international distinctions include the Joint Commission International Gold Seal of Approval, American College of Cardiology International Center of Excellence status, and the American Heart Association’s Get With The Guidelines Stroke Gold Plus award.
The facility continues to enhance access to advanced, complex care throughout the Emirates via multidisciplinary clinical practice, research initiatives, education programmes, and innovation. This comprehensive approach supports superior patient outcomes, cultivates local expertise, and reinforces Abu Dhabi’s emergence as a leading global healthcare destination.
