One hundred and five hospitals across 10 countries made IntelLat’s 2026 ranking of Latin America’s best healthcare institutions, measured across nine dimensions and eight specialty rankings. Mexico, the nearshore hub closest to the United States, supplied nine, while Colombia and Brazil list 37 and 41, respectively.
