Medical Services
to Begin Public
Relations Program
in Hong Kong
August 8, 2005
Medical Services International Inc. (OTC: MSITF) is pleased to
announce that starting August 10, 2005, it will begin a significant
Public Relations program in Hong Kong targeting the retail user of
the VScan HIV test kit as well as the business and health care
communities. As has been reported previously, the VScan HIV test kit
is being carried on a retail basis in Watson Pharmaceutical outlets.
This program is designed to target the end user of the VScan HIV
test kit as well as the business and healthcare communities. This
program will also let the public know that the VScan test kits can
be purchased at Watsons.
The program is a joint promotion with a local charity organization
AIDS CARE, who have done their own independent testing of the VScan
HIV test kit and found it to be very accurate, easy to use and cost
effective.
AIDS CARE has agreed to put on promotions related to the VScan HIV
test kit throughout Hong Kong and selected surrounding districts.
They will also be meeting with physician groups in Hong Kong to let
them know that the kit is available for general use.
This program is the first time that the VScan HIV rapid test kit has
been advertised as available to the general public through retail
outlets. It is felt that this program will be very instrumental in
letting the public know that there is an HIV test kit that can be
sold on a retail level to the general public. The VScan HIV test kit
is the only test kit that has been approved for retail sales in Hong
Kong and China.
