MedAire Wins Contract to Support Military Sealift Command

TEMPE, Ariz. (April 10, 2006) – MedAire, Inc (ASX:MDE) today announced that it has been awarded a five year contract to provide its remote-based, emergency medical assistance services to the Military Sealift Command (MSC).

MSC provides ocean transportation of equipment, fuel, supplies and ammunition to sustain U.S. forces worldwide during peacetime and in war for as long as operational requirements dictate.

The contract enables a ship’s crew to be in direct contact with MedAire’s 24/7 MedLink Global Response Center any time there is a question or concern in managing a medical condition onboard a deployed ship. The crew receives real-time assistance from the board certified emergency physicians who work within MedLink, which is based within the Emergency Department of Banner Good Samaritan Medical Center, Phoenix, Arizona.

“We are very pleased with the opportunity to continue our support of the Military Sealift Command,” said MedAire Founder and Chairman, Joan Sullivan Garrett. “Their needs and requirements are perhaps among the most sophisticated that we see in the maritime industry.”

The new contract comes at the conclusion of MedAire’s initial five-year contract with MSC.

Today, MSC has approximately 8,000 mariners at sea and is the largest employer of merchant mariners in the United States. MSC currently operates 110 non-combatant, civilian-crewed ships worldwide. In addition, the command has access to 65 other ships that are kept in reduced operating status, ready to be activated if needed.
