Medical education lasts for five years and students begin medical school as college<br />

undergraduates 41 .<br />

C. MENA Countries<br />

These countries include Algeria, Egypt, Iran, Iraq, Israel, Jordan, Lebanon, Libya,<br />

Morocco, Syria, Tunisia, Turkey and Yemen as MENA countries. Medical studies<br />

require between four in Lebanon and seven years of study and tuition fees differ among a<br />

majority of public medical schools and some private ones. Table I.2.4.3 describes <strong>the</strong><br />

total fees incurred per year in US dollars. It is observed that Morocco, Tunisia and<br />

Yemen have <strong>the</strong> lowest fees in <strong>the</strong> group while Lebanon, Jordan, Iran, Turkey and Israel<br />

have <strong>the</strong> highest fees. However, in Turkey, for example, <strong>the</strong> minimum fee is considered<br />

low. This is explained by <strong>the</strong> low level of fees required by public universities and <strong>the</strong><br />

difference in <strong>the</strong> amount of tuition fees between local and international students.<br />
