Deputy Minister of Health and Promotion of Bolivia: «Our country is first of all interested in qualified medical professionals»
The main aim of the visit was to discuss Bolivian citizens’ enrollment in medical residency programs at RUDN.
Dr.Terrazas: «First and foremost we need medical professionals. Today there are 23 doctors for 10,000 people and this is not enough. We are ready to consider an agreement between the Ministry of Health of Bolivia and RUDN University».
Every year Bolivia is planning to send 40-50 students to medical residency. During the visit the parties decided that RUDN International Department will prepare a draft agreement to further send it to Bolivian counterpart.
The number of foreign ambassadors of Russian education and science has reached 47. In October 2026, 12 more teachers, scientists, and public figures received this honorary status - from Brazil, Israel, Kazakhstan, Cameroon, China, Lebanon, Moldova, Mongolia, Nigeria, Peru, Syria, and the Central African Republic. Five of them studied at Peoples' Friendship University of Russia.
Last week, RUDN University welcomed a delegation led by Gao Song, President of Peking University. The visit marked his first international trip since assuming office as the rector of the university, which ranks 13th globally.
In RUDN’s main building, Russian speech has mixed with Arabic and strict business suits with national attire. The reason for this is the 100th anniversary of diplomatic relations between Russia and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The university hosted a large-scale event “The Century of Friendship, Cultural and Scientific Exchange between the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the Russian Federation”, which brought together diplomats, scientists, rectors of leading universities, and students.
