ST. LOUIS—August 25, 2009—GenoMed® (OTC Pink Sheets GMED.PK), the Public Health Company™, announced today that it has entered into discussions with the Department of Health of the Philippines to eliminate 95% of kidney failure from that country.

This follows on GenoMed's earlier memorandum of understanding with LaSalTech, a call center in Bacolod, Republic of the Philippines (RP). GenoMed will teach LaSalTech physicians its "recipe" and they, in turn, will recommend it to the 20 million adults with high blood pressure in the RP. An electronic record will be created for each patient, and GenoMed will supervise the operation from its St. Louis headquarters.

GenoMed and LaSalTech are also in discussions with a chain of retail pharmacies which would serve as the point of contact with the country's 20 million hypertensive patients.

Said Dr. Moskowitz, GenoMed's CEO, "We're delighted that the Department of Health of the Philippines is interested in supporting us. Their involvement is crucial."

Dr. Moskowitz continued, "If we succeed at a state-of-the-art, prevention-based healthcare solution for even the poorest Filipino, we will be able to export it to other countries, especially the US. President Obama has called for just such a solution. Unfortunately, Medicare has had no interest whatsoever in cutting 10% of its budget, or $35 billion a year."

Dr. Moskowitz ended by saying, "The Philippine government, on the other hand, simply can't afford to dialyze 20,000 new patients each year, and is committed to prevention. Our partner, LaSalTech, and Brother Rolando Dizon, its Chairman, helped make this happen. This is a great day for GenoMed's shareholders. We finally get a chance to show our stuff in a nation of 90 million."
