USNaval Hospital Taipei ,Taiwan

The US Naval Hospital Taipei, located in Taiwan, was established in 1957 to provide comprehensive medical care to American military personnel, their families, and authorized civilians stationed on the island during the Cold War era. Operated by the United States Navy, the hospital was strategically significant due to Taiwan's proximity to mainland China and its role as a key ally in the Western Pacific. The facility included advanced medical and surgical services, supporting both routine healthcare and emergency operations for the United States Taiwan Defense Command and other American units in the region. The hospital ceased operations in 1979 following the normalization of diplomatic relations between the United States and the People’s Republic of China, marking the end of the official American military presence in Taiwan.
