You have to have the hospitalazation unlocked, for any dept. Its the last "reward" for a dept. hospitalazation. You dont need ALL the depts to that point. Just one.
I got my first one after I built the Gen. Surgery dept hospital. I didnt have any of the others. And, it was asking for a ambulance in no time. I may have had two depts open for hospital, by the time I got the reward. But, only the gen surgery asked for an ambulance. I didnt buy it. By the time I had all my depts running, each dept had the ambulance reward in the top left.

I have hosp unlocked for emergency, but it still says it's locked.

green checks on the right for everything for ER, maybe i'm not seeing the ambulance icon?

It will be a reward pop up. If by chance you missed the pop up, go to your build menu, under contruction and floor, you will see the ambulance tab. You can try and buy one there. It will let you know if you can or not, at this time.
Also, you dont get the ambulance right away, after building the hos. of that department. There is a couple other goals to go through. If that helps.

sorry, it's just getting frustrating, i even built a ICU. there is no direction on what exactly it takes to get ambulances

[Delta-9]

Over on the left side, not the management window, or build window. You can see objectives for each dept. Unless one is saying to buy an ambulance, you still have more objectives to do. Thats the best I got..Sorry

Try adding a few more drink, and vending mech.'s. Making sure there is enough seats for WR's. And, enough staff rooms. (Or place in such a way that all staff can get to one pretty close. How many Emergancy dr clinic offices do you have?

I like a max number of Em Dr's at 8.
I like to have 2 Internal med offices, 2 heart, and 2 psyc. The other always seem fine with just one.

It wouldnt hurt to go around your staff and check their skills and allowed jobs. (Dr./Nurses)
Clinic Em Dr's are good to have advanced med. And their allowed jobs set to just diagnosis.
The TC dr. the same, but needs the surgey/TC job checked.
In a dept. surgery. AKA Nurses sation and ON. You know you need a surgeon, and a "sleeper". Plus a nurse with surgery skill. All three of those need their allowed job set to surgery only. They are the ones moving those patients through, and dont need to be checking on patients. Then you need 1 more Dr. with advanced med, who is set to diagnos, and NO surgey. 2 more nurses, 1 intern to do JUST transport, and another with critical nurse specalist. and its set to only care.
3 dr's and 3 nurses.
If you want to be doing night surgeries, you set a night crew the same way.
