“The photo shows doctors from the Muslim Doctors Association in India.”
What FACTLY found
The viral photo actually shows a group of doctors at an event of the Muslim Doctors Association in the UK. This event was held on 21 September 2019 at Chaophraya Thai Restaurant in Birmingham, titled “Launch of Midlands/North Network.” The image has no connection with India, and the association is based in the UK. Further, there is also a Hindu Medical Association in the UK, which connects and supports Hindu healthcare professionals.
