Medical Services International to Make Its VScan Rapid Test Kit for the Detection of Tuberculosis Available to the Passengers of

NEW YORK, June 11  /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Medical Services International Inc. (Pink Sheets: MSITF) wishes to announce that it will make available, at no cost, every 3 months for the next two years its VScan rapid test kit for Tuberculosis (TB) to all passengers and crew that can verify that they were on the Czech Airlines flight from Prague to Montreal where the individual had Tuberculosis (TB).

The VScan TB rapid test kit is a screening test that will tell the individual using it if they have gone from inactive to active TB status. The VScan TB test kit is faster and easier than conventional testing. The VScan TB rapid test kit only detects "live" TB and does NOT give false positives. It is the only kit that does not give false positives. There is no test available that is more accurate. It will detect a change in status from inactive to active (live) status faster than conventional testing. Current testing available other than the VScan TB test gives false positives 30% of the time. Using the VScan rapid test kit does not mean that individuals should ignore the advice of their doctor.

As it will take a significant amount of time before the status of the individuals can be determined, the Company feels that having the availability of its VScan TB test kit will reduce some of the anxiety associated with this situation. For further information please call  [phone].
