Critically ill individuals, numbering 744, battling COVID-19
Let's break down the COVID-19 situation in Kazakhstan, according to the Ministry of Health's latest report on May 23. You got 60,599 individuals in treatment, with 34,457 confirmed to have contracted COVID-19 and the rest being those exposed to COVID-19. Out of these, a whopping 12,968 are hospitalized, while 21,035 are on outpatient treatment.
In more serious cases, 744 patients are critical, 172 are severely ill, and 93 are on ventilators. That's quite a scary number, but we've got to keep our heads up and remain vigilant.
Now, let me spill the beans on some additional info I've dug up. As of April 2025, specific data on hospitalized versus outpatient COVID-19 cases in Kazakhstan wasn't readily available. However, recent reports indicate the following:
- Active case context: The country has roughly 14,963 active cases per 100k population, but no exact national total is provided. The case fatality rate stands at 0.98%, though there's a concerning rise in maternal mortality to 44.7 per 100k in 2021. The exact number of severe or critical COVID-19 cases among pregnant women, however, remains unquantified.
- Clinical severity: Pregnant women are more susceptible to acute respiratory complications, but detailed statistics on ICU occupancy or ventilator use remain unclear. Kazakhstan has implemented specialized COVID-19 management protocols for pregnant patients, but information on clinical severity breakdowns is scarce.
- Infrastructure developments: Recent initiatives, such as ICAP's April 2025 project, are beefing up regional capacity for public health emergencies by improving data analysis tools and training for rapid response teams. Unfortunately, real-time hospitalization metrics are not disclosed in the publicly available documentation.
Unfortunately, the available data doesn't offer direct figures for hospitalized/outpatient splits, ICU occupancy, or ventilator use. Kazakhstan's COVID-19 dashboard likely provides these specifics, but doesn't report them as of March–April 2025. Keep an eye out for updates, friends. We're all in this together!
