CJI welcomes the new staff members at Jesu Ashram. The new additions are Sr. Dr. Sarita who is a medical doctor and a religious sister of the Daughters of the Cross of Calcutta province. Two Jesuits, Fr. Basil Topp and Brother Gilbert have also joined the team. There are now four Jesuits and four sisters of the Daughters of the Cross now working at Jesu Ashram.

Jesu Ashram provides free medical treatment, care and social services to the sick especially the very poor people and their families. They work with people affected by tuberculosis, HIV/AIDS and leprosy treating about 350 patients annually regardless of caste or creed. The staff is made up of a core group of about 20 nurses and doctors supported by a dedicated group of men and woman who have been successfully treated by the Ashram, who now work as caregivers for current patients.
