Hospital Israelita Albert Einstein
Hospital Israelita Albert Einstein is Latin America's top-ranked hospital and cancer programme.
Overview
Hospital Israelita Albert Einstein in São Paulo is Latin America's top-ranked hospital and cancer programme, placed seventeenth in the Newsweek/Statista World's Best Specialized Hospitals list for oncology. It is the leading Brazilian centre for clinical trials, precision oncology and radiotherapy, and a major Latin American enroller in global phase 3 trials, which gives it outsized influence on how new drugs reach the region. OnCo links it to Rafael Kaliks and Carlos Barrios, to the Brazilian regulator ANVISA, and to the idea of burden-matched funding for trials led in low- and middle-income countries. Whether trial leadership, rather than enrolment alone, can shift to centres like this is the open question. Its trials and precision oncology programmes are the ones to follow.
