Astana is a capital city with public and private hospitals, clinics and pharmacies, and private clinics are the usual choice for foreigners wanting English-speaking care. Standards in the private sector are reasonable for routine problems. For anything complex or specialised, people generally travel, which is another reason to hold insurance that includes evacuation. Bring an adequate supply of any prescription medication you depend on, and check its legal status in Kazakhstan before you travel, since rules on specific drugs vary.
