The Gran Canaria Doctor Negrín University Hospital has been ranked 31st in the Best in Class 2026 ranking, a classification that evaluates the trajectory of hospital centers between 2021 and 2025.

The hospital, affiliated with the Canary Islands Government's Health Department, is the only one from the Canary Islands Health Service (SCS) included in this high-complexity distinction. The ranking combines results from previous editions with each organization's regularity, excellence, recognitions, and artificial intelligence innovation.
This recognition highlights the commitment of the Doctor Negrín Hospital professionals to care quality, patient safety, and continuous improvement. The Best in Class (BiC) Awards use the Patient Care Quality Index (ICAP®) to assess the excellence of clinical services.
In 2025, the hospital was a finalist in the categories of best high-complexity hospital and best Rheumatology service. The hospital's Management Directorate serves residents over fourteen years old from the north-central part of the island and the northern zone of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, and is a reference center for Lanzarote and the province of Las Palmas in various specialties.
At the autonomous community level of the Canary Islands, the Doctor Negrín Hospital is a reference for transplants (bone marrow, cardiac, pulmonary), congenital heart disease surgery, deep brain stimulation, molecular biology, radiotherapy with Cyberknife, and high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) treatment. Additionally, 29 services hold quality certifications, and the hospital was a pioneer in receiving the BPSO recognition (Best Practice Guidelines) as a center committed to excellence in care.
This new award reinforces the Doctor Negrín Hospital's commitment to quality public healthcare, promoting innovation, research, and patient care.
