Doctor Helis in Japan

http://www.j-hangarspace.jp/doctor-heli-network

all helos are white and marked as "Doctor Helis" - all seem to operate
from hospitals

Japan has been gradually extending the coverage of the Doctor-Heli
emergency medical services (EMS) network since its inauguration at a
hospital in Okayama Prefecture in April 2001. In conjunction with the
introduction of a varied fleet of helicopters equipped with
state-of-the-art equipment, a great deal of investment has been made
in infrastructure to support and facilitate the organisation's highly
specialized operations. As at the end of August 2018, the network
comprises a total of more than 50 helicopters that are operational for
57 hospitals in 42 prefectures, the most recent operation being that
covering the southern part of Niigata Prefecture, which started
operations in late March 2017.

Japan has distinctly different helo ops - police - fire - ems - coat
guard - military - maybe even federal agencies
