FACT CHECK
NewsMobile fact-checked the above claim, and found it to be FALSE.
Doing a simple Reverse Image Search, we found a news article published on October 6, 2021, carrying the same viral image. According to the article, “There was a registration of the clinic of Dr Ashwani Gupta, a BAMS degree holder, running a hospital without any name in Kathphori. The doctor, who treated the patients with allopathy, opened the hospital under the guise of a clinic. In the havoc of fever and dengue, beds were increased to 20. After the beds were full, patients were made to sit on the sides on the flyover in front of the hospital.”
The image was also published in another article, dated October 5, 2021, with a headline: “Fever patients in Firozabad forced to get treatment on the divider!”
Searching further, we found the same image uploaded in another article published on October 5, 2021. Here also, it is mentioned that “Patients coming to an unnamed hospital in Sirsaganj, Firozabad, were being treated on the divider, the health department got it sealed.” Check a similar news report and tweet here and here.
NewsMobile debunked the same image in 2021, when it was shared as that from Delhi.

Thus, it is evident from the above information that an image from Uttar Pradesh is being falsely shared that from Gujarat.
