When done properly, rankings are insightful, giving a sense of perspective through comparison. Healthcare systems across Latin America are notorious for lacking up-to-date and trustworthy information, thus skewing the perception.<\/p>\n<p>To fill this gap, Global Health Intelligence (GHI) decided to delve into its <strong><span style=\"color: #008000;\"><a style=\"color: #008000;\" href=\"https:\/\/globalhealthintelligence.com\/strategic-solutions\/hospital-database\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">database<\/a><\/span><\/strong> (which covers 86% of all hospitals in Latin America and now includes Bolivia, Uruguay and Paraguay) to analyze which hospitals have the <strong><span style=\"color: #008000;\"><a style=\"color: #008000;\" href=\"https:\/\/globalhealthintelligence.com\/latin-american-hospital-rankings\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">highest equipment counts in 4 specific categories<\/a><\/span><\/strong>:<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Patient care (number of beds)<br \/>\n\u2022 Diagnostic imaging equipment<br \/>\n\u2022 Cardiovascular equipment<br \/>\n\u2022 Maternity unit equipment<\/p>\n<p>These four categories are critical pillars when evaluating patient care. The number of beds within an institution is often an indicator of the size of the hospital and may be correlated to the level of care. Diagnostic imaging equipment is essential to properly diagnose any number of life-threatening and chronic conditions. Cardiovascular equipment is just as important given the prevalence of heart disease in Latin America. A majority of births take place in hospitals and birthing is one of the main activities of most hospitals, which denotes significant\u00a0importance to maternity units and infant care. While additional categories could have been included, GHI decided to focus on these 4 areas of care in order make the ranking more manageable.<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"color: #008000;\">Why Multiple Categories and Countries?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Rankings are often all-encompassing with no specific focus, such as the \u201cThe 50 best hospitals.\u201d Given the complexities of healthcare systems in place and the context in which they operate, GHI opted to acknowledge these characteristics by creating a ranking per leading category. This also enables smaller yet more specialized hospitals to form part of the ranking.<\/p>\n<p>GHI applied the same plurality by setting up the rankings per country in order to reflect local market dynamics accurately. For example, <a href=\"https:\/\/globalhealthintelligence.com\/es\/ghi-analysis\/brazil-hospital-demographics-2016-latin-americas-second-largest-hospital-market-can-still-gain-efficiencies\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Brazil<\/a> has over 200 million people and over 7,000 hospitals.
