27th surgical hospital. Chu Lai

The 27th Surgical Hospital was a U.S. Army medical unit deployed to Vietnam during the Vietnam War. In 1966, the unit was established at Chu Lai, a major base on the central coast, to provide advanced surgical and emergency care for American and allied troops engaged in combat operations in the region. Staffed by highly trained doctors, nurses, and medics, the 27th Surgical Hospital played a critical role in saving the lives of wounded soldiers, often under difficult and dangerous conditions. The hospital remained active at Chu Lai until 1970, when it was inactivated as part of the U.S. military drawdown in Vietnam.
