In developing countries, coverage of wild territories with an efficient health care system is of paramount importance in order to sustain people in their own habitat, so avoiding movement of people to the slums of bigger cities with concurrent breakdown of local native communities. With that in mind and according to the needs of Amazon basin communities, a health care system based on mobile clinic units onboard of small crafts has been conceived, within a cooperation programme between the Universidad Catòlica Santo Toribio de Mongrovejo of Chiclayo (Peru) and the Università degli Studi di Trieste (Italy).
