                     RULE 13a-14(a)/15d-14(a) CERTIFICATION

   I, Sarah L. Eames, certify that:

   1. I have reviewed this Annual Report on Form 10-K/A of Allied Healthcare
International Inc. (the "Registrant");

   2. Based on my knowledge, this Annual Report does not contain any untrue
statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make
the statements made, in light of the circumstances under which such statements
were made, not misleading with respect to the period covered by this Annual
Report;

   3. Based on my knowledge, the consolidated financial statements and other
financial information included in this Annual Report fairly present in all
material respects the financial condition, results of operations and cash flows
of the Registrant as of, and for, the periods presented in this Annual Report;

   4. The Registrant's other certifying officer and I are responsible for
establishing and maintaining disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in
Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) for the Registrant and we have:

      (a) designed such disclosure controls and procedures, or caused such
disclosure controls and procedures to be designed under our supervision, to
ensure that material information relating to the Registrant, including its
consolidated subsidiaries, is made known to us by others within those entities,
particularly during the period in which this Annual Report is being prepared;

      (b) evaluated the effectiveness of the Registrant's disclosure controls
and procedures and presented in this Annual Report our conclusions about the
effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures, as of the end of the
period covered by this Annual Report based on such evaluation; and

      (c) disclosed in this Annual Report any change in the Registrant's
internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the Registrant's
fourth fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2003 that has materially affected, or
is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Registrant's internal control
over financial reporting;

   5. The Registrant's other certifying officer and I have disclosed, based on
our most recent evaluation of internal control over financial reporting, to the
Registrant's auditors and the audit committee of the Registrant's board of
directors:

                                       1

       (a) all significant deficiencies and material weaknesses in the design or
operation of internal control over financial reporting which are reasonably
likely to adversely affect the Registrant's ability to record, process,
summarize and report financial information; and

       (b) any fraud, whether or not material, that involves management or other
   employees who have a significant role in the Registrant's internal control
   over financial reporting.
