Leading the pack of exceptional healthcare institutions in Germany, Bethesda takes the top spot.
The Rotes Kreuz Krankenhaus Bremen (RKK) has been highly rated in Germany, according to a recent study by the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung (FAZ) and the Institute for Management and Economic Research (IMWF). The hospital received top recognition in several relevant specialties: General Surgery, Visceral Surgery, Orthopedics and Trauma Surgery / Orthopedic Surgery, and Internal Medicine (with a focus on Rheumatology).
In the medium-sized hospital category (300–500 beds), RKK scored 86.5 out of 100 points, placing it at the top in Bremen alongside Klinik Bremen Nord. The FAZ-IMWF study evaluated hospitals using multiple data sources, including official quality reports, federal hospital data, patient reviews, and online sentiment analysis.
Regarding Gynecology and Obstetrics, the study did not provide specific hospital names rated highly. The Bonifatius Hospital Lingen was mentioned in the search results but was not explicitly listed among the top-ranked hospitals in these specialties.
The FAZ-IMWF study considered several factors in its evaluation, including recommendation rates, satisfaction, medical and nursing care, organization, and equipment. CEO Dr. Cornelia Sack attributed the distinction to the dedication and expertise of the employees at Bethesda, who work around the clock to ensure patients feel well taken care of.
Here is a summary of the highly rated hospitals in each specialty:
| Specialty | Highly Rated Hospital | |-----------------------------------------------|----------------------------------| | General Surgery, Visceral Surgery | Rotes Kreuz Krankenhaus Bremen | | Orthopedics and Trauma Surgery / Orthopedic Surgery | Rotes Kreuz Krankenhaus Bremen | | Internal Medicine (including Rheumatology) | Rotes Kreuz Krankenhaus Bremen | | Gynecology and Obstetrics | Not specified in current data |
