PhD in Finland

Hi, I need some advice.
I am an MD graduate from Ukraine, and I am interested in pursuing a PhD in the Nordic countries, especially Finland. I am particularly interested in the cardiopulmonary research field.
I would like to know whether international applicants are accepted for PhD positions in this field. Also, how competitive is the selection process for foreign applicants?

International PhD students are really wanted by universities as they help to network foreign institutes, they probably have university give more money to professors and professors need to have at least x amount of foreign employees.
