Royal Naval Hospital (Hong Kong) was the Royal Navy's medical facility in the colony.
The RNH began in 1841 in a matshed on the site of the Wellington Barracks ong Hong Kong Island. A typhoon destroyed the hospital and was temporarily located on the "Minden", a third rate sailing ship. This ship was replaced by "Alligator" in 1846, a sixth rate frigate and "Melville", another third rate sailing ship in 1857.
The hospital return to shore briefly at the Seaman's Hospital in 1873 and then to the Mount Shadwell, now home to Ruttonjee Hospital until it was destroyed during World War II.
After the war the RNH was located on two floors of the Queen Mary Hospital. In 1946 the hospital relocated to the War Memorial Hospital on the Peak (Mount Kellett Road) until it was closed in 1956. The War Memorial Hospital merged with Matilda Hospital to form the Matilda and War Memorial Hospital, later renamed Matilda International Hospital. Naval medical services and patients were transferred to the British Military Hospital, Hong Kong in Kowloon after 1956.
