OPINION OF THE COURT
JAMES HUNTER, III, Circuit Judge:
Appellant Paul Heller filed this action under the Federal Tort Claims Act (“FTCA”), 28 U.S.C. §§ 1346(b), 2671-80 (1982), seeking compensation and punitive damages for the wrongful death of his wife, Gail Simpson Heller. Heller alleges that the United States is liable for the negligent medical treatment his wife received at Clark Air Force Base, Republic of the Philippines. The District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania dismissed Heller’s complaint for lack of subject matter jurisdiction under the FTCA. We affirm.
