Medical Services Expands Production Capacity
to Meet Increased Demand

 


April 14, 2005

Medical Services International Inc. (OTC: MSITF)
announced today that it has taken the necessary steps to increase its production capacity worldwide to 50,000 VScan test kits per day. This increased production capacity will enable Medical Services to: fulfill contractual requirements related to the Company's existing contracts with the People's Republic of China and the Government of Nigeria (combined estimated value of US$50.5 million); satisfy other contracts currently being negotiated the PRC (estimated value of $4.0 million); as well as be prepared for additional contracts as they become available.

Medical Services owns and operates production facilities in Shanghai, Nigeria, India, New Jersey and on the island of Anguilla, B.W.I. in the Caribbean. All of these facilities were designed and setup utilizing modular construction. As sales of the Company's test kits increase, production can be increased in each individual facility by affixing additional modules. The Company has produced and provided each facility with technical manuals that explain how to expand modularly without interrupting existing production.

All test kit production facilities, which operate to United States "GMP" standards and work to an ISO rating of ISO9001, are controlled by Medical Services, and each is operated either by the Company or one of its subsidiaries. The only exception is M&A Concepts Ltd of Nigeria, which operates through a joint venture agreement. Medical Services owns 60% of its subsidiary Minerva Biotech Corporation (http://www.minerva-biotech.com), which operates the facility in Shang Hai, China. In all cases the actual VScan test kit is manufactured exclusively by and for, and can only be purchased from, Medical Services International Inc.
