Fact Check:
The claim that the cow is walking in Uttar Pradesh hospital is MISLEADING.
When we searched the keyframes extracted from the video, we found that the video belonged to Kenya and NOT Uttar Pradesh.
According to a report published in tuko.co.ke, the video was shared online by a doctor identified as Aproko Doctor. The animal could be seen walking into the facility as if performing ward round.
Most of the beds in the ward were empty but one patient quickly sat upright once he saw the animal approaching.
The video was shared by @aproko_doctor on May 18, 2021, with the caption "A cow walking majestically in a hospital. "
By his profile on Twitter, we found a medical blog maintained by the doctor in which health-related topics are discussed by him.

Though it is not verifiable the exact location where the video was shot, it is clearly not from India.
Therefore, a video belonging to Kenya has been shared with MISLEADING claims that it shows a cow walking in Uttar Pradesh hospital. The claim is MISLEADING.
