She petitioned Queen Victoria for a women's medical service for India and was instrumental in the foundation of the Countess of Dufferin Fund.
[2] On the morning of Bielby's departure to England, the Maharaja asked her to visit Queen Victoria with a message, "I want you to tell the Queen and the Prince and Princess of Wales, the men and women of England, what the women of India suffer when they are sick.
"[2]After completing her medical training at the London School of Medicine for Women, Bielby and Mary Scharlieb, the first female British doctor to practice in India, were received by the Queen.
In response, Queen Victoria wrote back to the Maharani saying:“We had no idea it was as bad as this.
We wish it generally known that we sympathize with every effort to relieve the suffering of the women of India.”[3]The Queen then summoned Hariot Hamilton-Temple-Blackwood, Marchioness of Dufferin and Ava, more commonly known as Lady Dufferin, the Vicerine of India, to Windsor Castle and tasked her with improving healthcare and education for the women of India.
