Newsweek Ranks CODET Among Latin America’s Top Private Hospitals & Clinics for 2026

Choosing the right hospital or clinic for eye surgery is one of the most important health decisions a patient can make—especially in a region as diverse as Latin America, where private medical facilities vary widely in specialization, experience, and technology.

That’s why CODET Vision Institute is proud to announce that we have once again been named to Newsweek’s Latin America’s Top Private Hospitals & Clinics 2026 ranking—marking our second consecutive year on this prestigious list and making us the only hospital in Baja California to receive this recognition.

What Is Newsweek’s Latin America’s Top Private Hospitals & Clinics Ranking?

Now in its second year, Newsweek’s Latin America’s Top Private Hospitals & Clinics ranking—developed in partnership with global data intelligence firm Statista—was created to support patient decision-making across the region.

For 2026, the ranking evaluated private hospitals and clinics performing five common orthopedic and ophthalmic procedures, including:

• Cataract surgery
• Refractive eye surgery
• Knee surgery and knee replacement
• Hip surgery and hip replacement
• Shoulder surgery

Each hospital or clinic was assessed using a comprehensive scoring model that included:

• An international survey of Latin American medical professionals
• Accreditation and certification data
• Google reviews as a measure of patient experience
• Patient-Reported Outcome Measures (PROMs) data for orthopedic care

What This Recognition Means for Our Patients

Being included alongside renowned institutions, reflects CODET Vision Institute’s commitment to excellence in ophthalmic care.

For patients, this recognition reinforces that CODET offers:

• High clinical standards and advanced eye care technology
• Consistent, patient-centered outcomes
• A trusted alternative for vision correction and cataract surgery in Latin America

Most importantly, it confirms that world-class eye care is available right here in Baja California.
