Anatomy and many other highly relevant undergraduate courses in biology and chemistry are mandatory for the postgraduate degrees.

I think the standard pre-reqs in the US are two semesters of biology, math, and physics, four of chemistry (general and organic).

I doubt that any of this is directly relevant to patient care and honestly, I’m skeptical that it’s either necessary or sufficient background for the stuff that is.

I wouldn't trust any MD that couldn't manage a C- in all of those subjects.
