The governor of São Paulo, Tarcísio de Freitas, confirmed this Tuesday (21st) the construction of a Navy field hospital, which will start operating from Thursday (23rd) to care for victims of the heavy rains that reached the north coast of the state. During a press conference at the Port of São Sebastião, Tarcísio assured the arrival of the Multipurpose Aircraft Ship Atlântico, which will allow the creation of a structure to reinforce medical care and relieve hospitals in the region that are prioritizing more serious cases. According to the governor, the Navio Atlântico comes with a field hospital structure with up to 300 infirmary beds. There are also orthopedic, internal medicine, traumatology and psychiatrist health professionals, which can relieve pressure and free up the capacity of hospitals in the region. Tarcísio de Freitas also confirmed that 180 marines, specialized in rescue and clearing actions, reinforce the work of the Civil Defense. The governor also said that the Navy will make available, starting this Wednesday (22), a vessel equipped with a ramp capable of mooring on beaches to rescue victims who are still in isolated areas.
