As a result of the infarction, Sara Nazarbayeva required support from mechanical ventilation and dialysis machines for an extended period.
According to the report, "Sara Alpyssovna had been receiving treatment at the National Hospital of the Medical Center of the Presidential Administration in Almaty since April 2025. She was diagnosed with a massive myocardial infarction, as well as ischemic heart disease, heart and lung failure, which was exacerbated by long-standing and severe diabetes and progressive chronic kidney failure."
In January 2026, Sara Nazarbayeva was discharged from the medical facility. She is currently under the supervision of specialists at home, as reported by the press secretary.
In May 2025, rumors about her possible death circulated on social media. Ukibai then denied this information, noting that she was in the hospital, and details about her diagnosis and treatment methods were not disclosed due to medical confidentiality.
A massive myocardial infarction is a severe form of heart attack, where a significant part of the heart muscle dies due to the blockage of a major artery.
