CHINDEX INTERNATIONAL, INC. SIGNS CONTRACT FOR FIRST EXIM-SPONSORED MEDICAL EQUIPMENT SALE IN CHINA UNDER NEW EXIM-MOF FRAMEWORK

BETHESDA, MARYLAND -- August 3, 2007 - Chindex International, Inc. (NASDAQ: CHDX), an independent American provider of international healthcare services and Western healthcare products in the People's Republic of China, today announced that it has signed a $5.2 million contract for the sale of medical equipment to be purchased using a loan which is being processed under the new Framework Agreement between the Export-Import Bank of the United States ("Exim") and the Ministry of Finance of the People's Republic of China ("MOF"). The contract was signed yesterday in China with Instrimpex International Tendering Company and Liaocheng People's Hospital.

Roberta Lipson, President and CEO of Chindex, commented from Beijing : "We are thrilled to finally be moving ahead with a contract under the new Exim-MOF framework, as this represents a new wave of opportunity for Chindex that had been unavailable for several years. The demand for U.S. Government-sponsored financing by Chinese hospitals has pent up while the bilateral government-to-government negotiations were concluded, and then followed by a series of implementing regulations and commercial bank negotiations, which were only recently finalized. We expect to see more contracts processed under this Framework in the coming months as this demand begins to be satisfied, and in fact we have a number of potential projects moving through various stages of final approvals and preparation for tendering."
