Apparently, they don’t have ambulance service in India unless you’re staying at a “hostel”. Everyone else is on their own.

Malviya, who had breathing issues, was "denied" an ambulance as he did not live on the hostel campus. Due to this, it took two to three hours for him to reach the AIIMS emergency department where his condition was declared "critical" and later placed on ECMO after his lung function collapsed. He was declared dead on August 13, the Optometry Students Association claimed in a statement. ''Had there been a hostel, he would have survived,'' it added.
