Shahjahanpur (Uttar Pradesh): A terminally ill 9-year-old boy died after district hospital allegedly denied to provide him with an ambulance. The incident occurred last night when Afroz who was brought to the district hospital was referred to Lucknow but his parents insisted on treating him elsewhere. The parents due to lack of money were unable to hire a private vehicle.

"He was suffering from fever and we gave him some medicine after which his condition got worsened. We admitted him here but doctors told us to go somewhere else saying that no facilities are available here," said Afroz's mother.
