Extends Distribution Over Ten Provinces
March 9, 2005
Medical Services International Inc. is pleased to announce that the
new contracts covers 10 provinces in the People's Republic of China.
Within these provinces, the Company will be supplying 16 hospitals as
well as government medical clinics that are involved in testing
programs. We will also be supplying medical supply companies who will
be selling to their customers. There is a significant movement to
begin as much testing in all aspects of the Chinese population with
increasing mandatory testing. Once we have started to supply the
hospitals with the VScan HIV test kit and the hospitals become
familiar with the VScan HIV test kit, particularly their accuracy
(especially related to whole blood), ease of use, and the fact that no
refrigeration is required, the Company feels that other hospitals
within and outside the 10 provinces will also begin using the VScan
HIV test kit. This will substantially increase the number of HIV test
kits required in China on a yearly basis. The Company is projecting
that the Shanghai facility will have to produce at least 5.0 million
test kits in its first year of operations in China.
