HAYATI SPOTS BALTIMORE, US SOWETO, SA STANFORD, US TOP WORLD HOSPITALS LONDON, UK THAILAND JOHNS HOPKINS HOSPITAL BALTIMORE, U.S The Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore has rightfully earned the number one position in this top 10 as it is widely regarded as being the ‘best hospital in the world’. For the last 20 years it has been number one in the U.S News and World Report hospital ranking, striving to provide the best services in patient care, teaching and research. It is one of the leading hospitals for medical advances; it was the first hospital in the world to perform the first male-female sex reassignment surgery and it was here that the Nobel-prize winning discovery of restriction enzymes was made which was the birth of the genetic engineering industry. According to its ranking, the Johns Hopkins Hospital is in the top five for 15 out of 16 specialities and ranked number one for the practices of gynaecology, neurology and neurosurgery, urology, and rheumatology.
