Abstract: The medical vehicle is capable of travelling over long distances (1 600 km) in particular in desert regions and comprises a chassis carrying a drive unit and a closed body containing the equipment for medical intervention and caring for victims of accidents or injured persons. The rear end wall of the body is provided with two outwardly openable door members. The body contains at least two superimposed stretchers which are removably supported by a stand which is movable between two angularly different positions, namely a transport position in which the stand is parallel to the longitudinal axis of the vehicle and a loading position in which the stand makes an angle with the longitudinal axis. The stand has at the base thereof sliding devices which facilitate the angular movement thereof. Notwithstanding its equipment and design, the vehicle has a small overall size and is consequently air-transportable. It is adapted to travel in particular in regions having no medical or dispensary centers.
