The Brazilian Navy has three hospital ships; they are officially called Infirmary Assistance Ship(Navio de Assistência Hospitalar, in Portuguese), and were designed specifically to provide medical assistance on rivers with shallow waters. They have a helicopter landing platform and carry two launches that can extend the vessels' reach into even shallower and narrower waters than the parent vessels can access.
