Two military dental specialists from the North Carolina National Guard, along with dentists and dental residents from the University of North Carolina Dental School, came to Moldova the first week of March to partner with Moldovan dentists and dental residents from the “N. Testimitanu” Moldova State Medical and Pharmaceutical University.

The visit provided free dental care to Moldovan children residing in the Straseni and Ialoveni boarding schools. This event is a continuation of a series of yearly events launched by the Bilateral Affairs Office of the U.S. Embassy within the framework of the North Carolina–Moldova State Partnership Program.
