Hundreds of Marshall Islands schoolchildren have received their first medical and dental checkups as a result of a recent visit by the American warship, the USS Boxer.
Naval medics treated more than 1500 Marshallese school children who don't receive routine medical and dental care.
Boxer's medical department treated a variety of afflictions from skin infections to diabetes while the dental department performed routine exams, fluoride treatments and more than 1-hundred and 50 oral surgeries.
