Sera Jhe Health Care Committee was established as an apex body within the monastic community to manage and finance health care activities and to plan a comprehensive health care system for more than 4500 monks. The Committee has been organizing and maintaining health care programmes as well as health education campaigns. It also provides basic health care for both lay Tibetans and local Indian residents of the area.

It is a charitable Organization managed by monks elected by the representatives of the general body of monks for the term of three years.

This committee is one of the backbones of Sera Jhe monastic community and offers integrated facility of traditional Tibetan medicine and modern Allopathic system. The two systems of medicine run in parallel to each other and are used equally by the patients; increasing the frequency of referral process between the two health care systems.

During its initial years the community was laden with all kinds of health problems. With different kind of diseases and Tuberculosis being the dominant ailment and with limited medical facility it has to go through all kinds of hardships. The most important work on hand was construction of new Dispensary equipped with all vital medical facilities. In a community bereft of proper medical facilities this facility proved to be of immense benefit for the monastic community.

As years pass by with improvement in facilities, the committee now runs both Traditional Tibetan Medicine and Allopathic clinics. It could provide adequate, equitable and holistic primary health care services to all monks, lay Tibetans and local Indians through Primary Health Care system integrated with the major traditional systems of medicine. It also creates and expand public health programme in the community for disease prevention, promote healthier lifestyles and a cleaner environment. Other services of the community are, providing clean drinking water, sanitation and environmental maintenance.
