Like its counterparts and models in the United States, the American colonial hospital reflected its social and political circumstances and yet constituted a place apart. This article examines events at the Philippine General Hospital in Manila, from its opening in 1911 until its effective 'Filipinization' after 1916. A locus of patient care and treatment, it was also a site of indoctrination, conflict, and contestation. In 1912 hospital irregularities were investigated, and in 1916 the American director was poisoned. The conflicts that emerged between the colonial state and the hospital's American doctors, and between white and Filipino physicians and between doctors and nurses, tended to reproduce the fissures already evident within American colonial culture and drew upon conventionally racialized images of colonizer and colonized. Concomitantly the colonial hospital's distinctive institutional culture shaped the character and outcome of these conflicts
