Hello Basel,
Like bluejay43 wrote, your current grade score should be enough for admission through the BI quota (grades without post-graduation supplements). You also have the possibility to take supplementary (komvux) courses to reach 22.50 in the BII quota (grades with post-graduation supplements).
Taking the SweSAT (högskoleprov) is also a possibility, since it could not only open the door for you in the HP quota but the SweSAT scores are also used as a first step in the test- and interview-based local admission at the Karolinska Institute. In includes a Swedish-language part, however, so the test is considered to be more challenging for those coming from a non-Swedish background.
Not all medical schools require that you first apply for the 1st semester. You should try contacting Umeå University and talk with them about which possibilities are open to you for admission to higher semesters.
Depending on the situation in your original country, it might also be worth trying to get admitted citing "special reasons" (though this is usually in reference to significant outside negative impacts on high school grades rather than medical school studies, so I do not know whether this really is a possibility for you - but hey, it can't hurt your chances for you to inquire about it). In this instance, it might be a good idea to start talking with Umeå University as well since you might be contacting them anyway.
Also, like bluejay43 wrote, Swedish knowledge is a basic requirement for admission.
Feel free to ask further questions!
