The best in Jönköping County is Värnamo Hospital in a second place. The county hospital Ryhov in Jönköping is ranked four and the Högland Hospital in Eksjö is in sixth place, according to Dagens medikings ranking. A total of 34 hospitals are compared in the same class.

- It is a lot of fun for the county residents, but also for managers and employees in the Jönköping County region, that the county's three hospitals receive such good placements in this year's review of Dagens Medicin. It is a confirmation of a really good health care with high medical quality at our hospitals, ”said Jane Ydman, acting regional director in a press release.

Last year's winner now second

Today's Medicine notes that Värnamo Hospital continues to receive high points in the patient surveys category.

The ranking is based on seven main categories: Medical quality, accessibility, hygiene, patient surveys, pressure ulcers, overcrowding and finances.

In terms of accessibility, one of the sub-categories that took Värnamo Hospital to a first place in last year's ranking, the hospital slides down three placements in 2019 and is therefore skipped by the winner Västervik.
