ASIA PACIFIC (APAC) IS ONE OF THE WORLD’S most diverse and dynamic regions, with over 4 billion people and a GDP of over 30 trillion U.S. dollars. Demographics in the region are shifting, and the proportion of people over 60 is expected to grow to over a quarter of the population by 2050—placing more demand on the health care system.

METHODOLOGY
The Asia-Pacific (APAC) region has become the fastest-growing destination for health care investment. In recent years, hospitals in the APAC region are thriving on increasing specialization and technological advances in key medical fields.
To provide patients with a comprehensive resource for informed decision-making, Statista and Newsweek have partnered for the first time to award the leading hospitals in the APAC region, encompassing the countries Australia, India, Indonesia, Japan, Malaysia, Singapore, South Korea, Taiwan and Thailand. The ranking awards hospitals in six medical fields: cardiology, endocrinology, neurology, oncology, orthopedics and pediatrics. List lengths vary between these six medical fields: top 100 hospitals for cardiology, top 75 hospitals for endocrinology, neurology, oncology and pediatrics and top 50 hospitals for orthopedics.
The underlying data analysis is based on two data sources:
1 _ INTERNATIONAL ONLINE SURVEY
