News & Events 2025

Many students discover color blindness 🔴🟢too late—only after being disqualified in medical examination for careers such as defence👮‍♀️, aviation✈️, railways🚉, and specialized medical fields🏥. Early identification is essential.

Through Dr. Shivani Bhatt Charitable Foundation (SBCF), Colour blindness screening and counselling have been conducted for more than 10000 school children 👨‍🎓🧑‍🎓and identified 132 children with colour blindness. We have provided them psychological support, career counselling and labelled stationaries.

We request the inclusion of color-blindness screening in 👨‍🏫routine school health check-ups. One simple test 🔴🟢can protect millions of futures.

Dr Shivani Bhatt Charitable Foundation (SBCF) feels privileged to be associated with Pramukh Swami Medical College, Karamsad for Anaemia Detection camp for 2nd MBBS students under its Mission Pink Health project, on 11th December 2025 . Thanks Team SBCF

SBCF OBSERVERSHIP PROGRAM

This program, which is the first project of SBCF. In fact, it was thought of well before the establishment of SBCF and was launched way back in January 2020.

Whole SBCF was conceptualised by starting free Observerships after Dr. Shivani’s heavenly abode journey in November 2019.

It started with 1 student per month, passing through 2 years of COVID standstill & this month in June 2025 reached 24 students per month.

The journey has been phenomenal, so the students too, but all credit goes to our very beloved Consultants in USA , who selflessly and untiringly were always ready to accept students despite of last minute hiccups due to cancellations & new postings.

If we count these many students for free Observerships & average amount for paid rotations is 2000 USD, one can be easily astonished by the huge seva done by our most respected Consultants in USA.

This leads to saving of significant foreign exchange of our beloved country…!

This too shall be considered as an act of patriotism by them .

Thanks to every Consultant @ USA of SBCF , for achieving this milestone. We remain eternally obliged towards you all.

Thanks
