Medical Services Goes Retail in Peru
 

February 28, 2005
Medical Services International Inc. is pleased to announce that through a major pharmaceutical company with significant retail capability in Peru, that the VScan HIV test kit will now be available on a retail basis in the pharmaceutical company's retail outlets. The pharmaceutical company will also distribute the VScan HIV test kits throughout its wholesale distribution network. This will help the Company significantly expand its distribution in Peru.

With the entrance into retail in Peru, the Company will be selling at a retail level in China, Nigeria, Hong Kong and Peru.

In Peru, the kit was tested and found to be 100% accurate and is well regarded by health officials. The VScan HIV test kit is the only approved HIV test kit in Peru. It is also mandatory to be tested for HIV in order to get married in Peru. With the expansion of its distribution in Peru, it is reasonable to expect that we will sell up to 1.0 million kits in Peru this year.
