Magrabi Health has been recognised in Newsweek's “World’s Best Hospitals & Clinics for Medical Tourism 2027” ranking, developed in partnership with Statista, with three of its facilities securing places among the world's top 175 hospitals and clinics in ophthalmology.

The recognised facilities are Magrabi Health Eye – North Jeddah, Eye and Dental – Makkah, and Magrabi Health Eye and Ear – Madina Road, Jeddah.

The recognition highlights the group's position in specialised eye care and medical tourism, as Saudi Arabia continues to develop its healthcare services and attract international patients.

Mr. Mutasim Alireza, CEO of Magrabi Health, said: “This is an exceptional achievement that we are all proud of. It reflects Magrabi Health’s dedication to delivering specialised healthcare and medical tourism services in line with the highest international standards.”

He added: “This recognition is a testament to our teams and the care they deliver every day. Their unwavering commitment to excellence has played a key role in strengthening Magrabi Health’s position on the global stage. Beyond raising quality standards across our facilities, we are working to advance specialised healthcare and medical tourism services in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.”

Ranking Evaluates Healthcare Quality and Patient Experience

The 2027 ranking assesses leading hospitals and clinics across 13 destinations, including Saudi Arabia, covering six medical specialties: bariatric surgery, cancer care, cardiac care and surgery, ophthalmology, orthopaedics, and plastic and reconstructive surgery.

The evaluation draws on five main sources: recommendations from medical professionals and medical tourism facilitators, accreditations and certifications, patient experience and public trust, international patient services and support, and the Statista Medical Tourism Facility Survey.

Patient experience is assessed through reviews on specialised international platforms, including WhatClinic, MedicalTourism.review and Bookimed. The methodology also incorporates social listening across news websites, blogs and social media to evaluate public sentiment and healthcare providers' digital reputations.

International patient services are another key assessment area, covering remote consultations, follow-up care, travel and accommodation arrangements, language and administrative support, and pricing transparency.

Magrabi Health continues to develop these services to simplify access to treatment and improve the patient journey before, during and after medical procedures.

The assessment also incorporates a Global Recognition Score based on Newsweek and Statista's “World’s Best Hospitals 2026” and “World’s Best Specialized Hospitals 2027” rankings, reflecting facilities' international standing alongside their medical tourism performance.

Supporting Saudi Vision 2030

The recognition reflects Magrabi Health's efforts to strengthen specialised healthcare services, improve quality standards and enhance patient experience in line with Saudi Vision 2030 and the Health Sector Transformation Program.

The national programme aims to improve healthcare quality and efficiency, expand access to medical services and enhance the overall patient experience, supporting Saudi Arabia's ambitions to develop its healthcare sector and strengthen its position as a medical tourism destination. -TradeArabia News Service
