EDMONTON, Alberta, Jan. 23 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Medical Services International Inc. (Pinksheets: MSITF) is pleased to announce that it will start to ship VScan test kits into Anhui Province in China. Medical Services has agreed to supply a private hospital in Anhui Provinc with its test kits for HIV, Hepatitis B&C, and Tuberculosis. Based on conversations with officials from the hospital, it is anticipated that this hospital will require a minimum of 500,000 to 600,000 test kits per year. Based on this agreement, our Chinese sales staff has started contacting other private facilities to set up similar arrangements elsewhere. The fact that these are private facilities means that the VScan test kits that do not as yet have regulatory approval can be used.
In regard to the Dubai health show, reports are that it is being well attended with people from all over the world. Our distributors on site have already taken orders. We are getting excellent exposure of the VScan products. Pictures of the booth at the Dubai health show will be posted on the website as soon as they are available.
