Developments in the health condition of artist Hayat Al-Fahad and her admission to intensive care
The recent developments in the health condition of the Gulf screen icon, the esteemed artist Hayat Al-Fahad , have sparked widespread concern in artistic and public circles in Kuwait and the Arab world, following the statement issued by the “Al-Fahad” Foundation, which revealed precise details about her critical health condition.
The foundation officially announced the return of the renowned artist to Kuwait after a medical trip to the United Kingdom that did not achieve the desired success. The statement explained that the unsuccessful treatment was due to the severity of the stroke she suffered, which necessitated an urgent medical decision to complete her treatment protocol within Kuwait.
The foundation confirmed in its statement: “Based on detailed medical reports, it has been decided that artist Hayat Al-Fahad will continue her treatment in Kuwait. She is currently under close observation and receiving intensive care.” The medical team overseeing her case also stressed the need to restrict visits at this time to ensure maximum comfort and tranquility for her continued health.
A remarkable career and a rich artistic history
Born in 1948, Hayat Al-Fahad is considered one of the most prominent figures in Kuwaiti and Gulf art, and a symbol of the golden age of drama. She began her artistic career in the 1960s and contributed significantly to shaping the artistic identity of Gulf drama. Al-Fahad did not limit herself to acting; she also excelled as a screenwriter and dialogue writer, presenting works that addressed profound social issues in a style that blended tragedy and dark comedy.
The name Hayat Al-Fahad is etched in the memory of Arab viewers for timeless works such as "My Aunt Qumasha," "Ruqaya and Sabiqa," "The Wound of Time," and "The Midwife." She formed an unforgettable artistic duo with her longtime partner, the artist Suad Abdullah, together presenting works that have become deeply ingrained in the Gulf consciousness. The immense place that "Umm Suzan" (Hayat Al-Fahad's nickname) holds in the hearts of millions makes news of her illness a deeply moving event that transcends local boundaries, with prayers for her recovery pouring in from the Atlantic to the Gulf.
The Al-Fahad Foundation concluded its statement with a prayer, saying: “We ask God Almighty to grant her a speedy recovery and to return her safe and sound to her family and loved ones… We are grateful for your prayers and concern.” The Arab public eagerly awaits any positive updates that will reassure them about the health of this prominent artist who has contributed so much to Arab art.
