Swiss Emmaus Leprosy Relief Work India started its work in India in 1960 and initially worked to eliminate leprosy as a public health problem. For over 50 years, SEI has dedicated itself to improving the lives of people affected by leprosy, tuberculosis and other poverty related diseases through social and medical rehabilitation. Currently, we support 10 projects in eight states in India. The aim of  Swiss Emmaus India is to find ‘Customized solutions to Indian problems’ by working along with the Government in order to make ‘health for all’ a reality. Swiss Emmaus Leprosy Relief Work India (SEI) is registered by Registration of Trade Mark, section 23 (2), Rule 62 (1), Trade Mark No: 1757777, dated : 25/11/2008.
