Often referred to as the 'Lady of Gulf screen,' Hayat Al Fahad was one of the most influential figures in Gulf drama and went on to star in and write numerous television series that became staples in Arab households, particularly during Ramadan seasons.
Her work was known for tackling social issues, family dynamics, and women’s roles in society, earning her both critical acclaim and widespread popularity.
Hayat al Fahad’s health had deteriorated after she was first hospitalised in July after a severe health setback, during which she underwent a catheter procedure. Her condition later worsened due to complications, including a stroke, leading to a sharp decline.
She was subsequently moved to intensive care and remained under close medical observation after falling into a coma.
In an effort to stabilise her condition, she travelled to London for further treatment and underwent a delicate surgery. However, her health did not improve, and doctors advised her to return to Kuwait to continue treatment.
