Allied Healthcare International Inc. (NASDAQ: AHCI) (AIM: AHI) (http://www.alliedhealthcare.com), a leading provider of flexible healthcare staffing services in the United Kingdom, has implemented a three-year contract with the London Borough of Islington Council in the United Kingdom.

Under the Islington contract, Allied has the opportunity to deliver up to two thousand five hundred hours of home care services a week (130,000 hours a year) as one of two providers for the South region of Islington, a borough in North London with a population of 175,000. This award, which was secured in March 2009 and is Allied's first contract with Islington, has now completed its implementation stage with the opening of a new branch, London North.

Sandy Young, Chief Executive Officer of Allied, commented: "Our stated objective of materially increasing our presence across London Boroughs is yielding excellent results as this win comes on the back of recent long-term contract wins in Waltham Forest and Redbridge. I look forward to updating our shareholders on further results of this successful strategy."
