Nearly half of the world’s top 100 hospitals rely on the Serres Suction system for surgical fluid management, reinforcing Serres’ established role as a trusted partner to forerunning healthcare facilities around the world.

This is based on the 2026 Newsweek and Statista ranking of The World’s Best Hospitals, which evaluates 250 top-performing healthcare institutions globally each year. The continued strong presence of Serres reflects a consistent trend over time, demonstrating sustained trust in our solutions among leading hospitals.

Strong Presence Across Leading European and Nordic Healthcare Facilities

Based on the ranking, the Serres Suction system is particularly well established in the Nordics1, where almost 90% of the local hospitals listed in the global top 100 rely on the Serres solutions. Across Europe, the Serres Suction system is present in nearly 75% of the top-ranked global 100 hospitals.

This milestone highlights a growing focus in healthcare on solutions that support clinical performance and patient safety, while also helping reduce environmental impact.

Trusted by Leading Hospitals for Safety, Efficiency and Sustainability

Leading hospitals rely on Serres for its reliability, safety, and ease of use – while also supporting their sustainability goals. Designed for demanding clinical environments, the closed-loop Serres Suction system helps protect both patients and healthcare professionals by minimizing exposure to potentially hazardous fluids and reducing manual handling.

The simple one-connection setup of Serres Suction bags furthermore supports fast installation and efficient workflows, helping healthcare professionals focus on patient care.

Sustainability is an increasingly important priority in healthcare, and Serres supports this transition through the integrated fluid management solution of Serres Suction bags and Serres Nemo. With Serres Nemo, hospitals can reduce operating room fluid waste by up to 97%.

Our recently launched next-generation Serres Sylva Suction bag further advances hospitals’ sustainability efforts, helping them reduce plastic waste by up to 40% compared to similar soft suction bag solutions, and supporting them in moving toward their sustainability targets.

A Forward-Thinking Partner for Leading Hospitals

The widespread use of Serres solutions among top-ranked hospitals reflects a shared commitment to innovation, safety, and sustainability. By combining clinical performance with environmental responsibility, Serres continues to support healthcare providers in meeting the evolving demands of modern care.

About the Ranking

The World’s Best Hospitals rankings draw from four primary data sources: recommendations from medical experts, patient satisfaction data, hospital quality metrics, and a Patient Reported Outcome Measures (PROMs) implementation survey.
