I remember a documentary on China and apparently they let people study medicine for free if they play Medicine Woman Quinn in the boonies for a few years in exchange.
If you study medicine in Turkey, at a public or private university, you have to do up to 3 years of mandatory but paid service in a place government assigns you in order to obtain your diploma. This is how you can get rather good healtchcare coverage accross the country.
You need to do this once more if you do a specialization.
