After suffering a heart attack, Sara Nazarbayeva spent a long time on artificial lung ventilation and artificial kidney machines. According to Ukibai, since April 2025, she has been receiving treatment at the National Hospital of the medical center managed by the president in Almaty. Doctors diagnosed her with ischemic heart disease and heart-lung failure, which resulted from prolonged diabetes and chronic kidney failure.
In January 2026, Sara Nazarbayeva was discharged from the medical facility. She is currently under medical supervision at home.
Recall that in May 2025, rumors about her possible death appeared on social media. Ukibai then denied this information, stating that she was in the hospital, and details about her health condition and treatment were not disclosed due to medical confidentiality.
A massive heart attack is a serious heart event in which a large portion of the heart muscle dies due to the blockage of a major artery.
