Foreign Doctors Overcome Barriers to Build Careers in Minsk's Clinics
Three foreign-trained doctors are now working in Minsk’s healthcare system. Dr. Omar Motar, Dr. Ali Aidogdyyev, and Dr. Mahri Annalyayeva all arrived in Belarus from Turkmenistan and have since built careers in local clinics. Their integration highlights both opportunities and challenges for overseas medical professionals in the country. Dr. Omar Motar first came to Minsk in 2013. After a year of Russian language studies at BSMU’s preparatory department, he enrolled in the medical faculty. Since 2022, he has worked as a surgeon, first at the 11th clinic and later at the 21st. Currently, he is preparing to obtain the necessary categories to practise in both clinics and hospitals.
Dr. Ali Aidogdyyev also hails from Turkmenistan but studied at Grodno Medical University. He joined the 21st Central District Polyclinic as a surgeon in November 2021. Dr. Mahri Annalyayeva arrived in Belarus in 2012 and graduated in 2022. She now works at the same clinic as her colleagues. Her long-term goal is to specialise as a cardioreanimatologist. Valentina Plotnikova, deputy chief medical officer at the 21st clinic, confirms that no complaints have been made about foreign doctors. However, she notes that language barriers can create difficulties. Specialists with weak Russian skills often struggle to secure positions, as effective communication is crucial for patient care.
The three doctors have successfully transitioned into Belarusian healthcare after years of study and adaptation. Their careers demonstrate the potential for foreign-trained professionals to contribute to local medical services. Meanwhile, language proficiency remains a key factor in their hiring and daily work.
