Ghanaian highlights medical education opportunities in Russia
Through his account, the young man explained that several Russian universities offer medicine programmes with relatively flexible academic requirements.
According to him, applicants are assessed beyond their West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE) results, creating space for students who remain passionate about healthcare despite their academic backgrounds.
Equally important, he noted that tuition fees in Russia are comparatively affordable, making the option financially realistic for families struggling with the high cost of medical education elsewhere.
However, readiness to adapt was presented as non-negotiable.

Language learning emerged as the most demanding aspect of the process. The Ghanaian man explained that students are required to study the Russian language, including its alphabet and numerical system, as part of their preparation.
In his words, discipline, patience, and consistency mattered more than grades. While medicine remained rigorous, he emphasised that Russia rewarded commitment, especially for those willing to immerse themselves fully in a new academic culture.
He further encouraged interested students to conduct independent research, stressing that understanding admission processes, visa requirements, and institutional expectations was essential before making any move.
