Rehab unit, as they are called in the US. Some fire services here operate them, including a converted city bus used by FDNY. BSPP in Paris also used to operate a modified bus, but have recently commissioned a custom-built unit very much like this Isuzu, but not on a 4X4 chassis.

Many German cities have similar units, but these are usually based on AB pods, as they are often at a scene for a longish time, and the WLF transporter can drop the rehab pod off and go on to other duties.
