Medical Services Ships VScan Test Kits to Sri Lanka

January 10, 2005
Medical Services International Inc. (Pinksheets: MSITF) is pleased to announce that as a result of  the approvals received on its VScan Test kits and the testing completed in S.E. Asia, that it will be able to help in Sri Lanka through the shipping of VScan test kits. The Company has been approached and orders placed to supply VScan Dengue Fever test kits to Sri Lanka. Dengue Fever is very prevalent in Sri Lanka and surrounding areas. With the increase in standing water as a result of the disaster in that region there will be a significant increase in the mosquito populations and as such an increase in Dengue Fever. With the shortage of laboratory facilities and the length of time to get results the VScan Dengue Fever test kit will be very helpful. The VScan test kit requires no medical facilities, no refrigeration, can be administered by non-medical personnel and gives results in under 10 minutes. The Company feels that its Dengue Fever test kit will be instrumental in helping to deal with any potential outbreak of Dengue Fever. The Company will begin shipping its VScan test kits by January 15, 2005.
