Canadian Jesuits International supports Jesu Ashram, a health care centre of the Jesuit Province of Darjeeling, which provides free medical treatment and care to poor and needy people, especially those living with leprosy and tuberculosis.

Jesu Ashram began in 1971 with a hospice and homes for disabled leprosy survivors established in Matigara by Canadian Jesuit Brother Robert Mittelholtz.

Today it runs a health centre with a capacity of 300 beds in three wards: general, tuberculosis and leprosy. It also runs various health programs, including counseling and nutritional support for people living with HIV/AIDS.

Jesu Ashram also runs an outpatient clinic where thousands have been treated over the years. In many cases of leprosy, the clinic has helped to control the infection early and prevent the deformities associated with later stages of the disease.

Some patients who are severely deformed and have nowhere to go are given a monthly allowance and settled in nearby houses built by Jesu Ashram, where some are engaged in income-generating activities.

Jesu Ashram also offers a three-year nursing course for women from poor families who have completed high school.

In 2022, CJI funded the installation of solar panels, which has improved service delivery and increased staff efficiency.
