VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - May 3, 2012) -

NOT FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

Premier Diagnostic Health Services Inc. (CNSX:PDH) is very pleased to inform the public that our Joint Venture partner, the No. 3 Military Police Hospital in Beijing, has had its ranking status upgraded from a Level 2A Hospital to a Level 3A Hospital, the highest ranking for hospitals in China. This honor has been bestowed as a result of our very successful collaboration with the MRI clinic and an aggressive, ongoing improvement program initiated by the Hospital as an integral part of this Joint Venture.

"A very positive sign that our joint programs and collaborations are considered successful is the Hospital's wish to expand the relationship," said Denis Tusar, CEO and Chairman of PDH. "Discussions have now been initiated for the supply, installation, and operation of a high end CT scanner to complement the existing MRI."

Furthermore, as a result of this successful collaboration and the Hospital's initiatives, the number of outpatients served has grown to more than 800 per day, and overall revenues have tripled in the past two years. Patients are traveling from other hospitals, as well as from the countryside, to benefit from the hospital and MRI clinic's exceptional facilities and care. We are very proud that PDH has been a major contributor to No. 3 Military Hospital's significant success.
