The Almirante Nef Naval Hospital (Spanish: Hospital Naval Almirante Nef) is the largest of the four hospitals in the health system of the Chilean Navy.
It was founded in 1927 in Valparaíso, one of oldest city in Chile, as Valparaiso Naval Hospital, in 1933 being renamed Almirante Nef Naval Hospital in honour of Admiral Francisco Nef Jara, who fought for funding for the construction of this health accommodation facility.
In the eighties, in an evaluation by the Health Directorate of the Chilean Navy, it became clear that hospital facilities were inadequate after an earthquake struck the city of Valparaíso in 1985 and the fire that occurred in boilers in the building. That is why the project was carried out of the new Naval Hospital. The concerns that are unique to a specific facility for the Armed Forces are reflected in the concept of design and architecture of the new building. That is why their equipment and infrastructure has the capacity to deal with emergency situations of war or natural disasters which have a high incidence of traumatic pathologies and burns.
New hospital facilities were transferred to the new building in the city of Viña del Mar on December 14, 1990. The Minister of National Defence, Mr. Patricio Rojas Saavedra, and the Commander in Chief of the Navy, Admiral Jorge Martinez Bush, presided over the ceremony .

People of pre-independence Spanish descent are usually not considered Spanish Chileans even though they form a large majority of the Chilean population and have Spanish surnames and ancestry. This is because they rejected Spanish identity for the emergent Chilean one on the eve of national independence.
