There was panic on Tuesday, after Sweden’s newly appointed Health Minister, Elisabet Lann, collapsed during her first press conference. The video of the incident shows Lann had just finished speaking, and while the other speakers were sharing a lighthearted laugh, the Minister suddenly collapsed.
The Minister’s lectern fell, with people scrambling to check on her. Lann, who received immediate help from government security on hand and eventually returned to the conference stage, stated that she fainted mid-way due to a drop in blood sugar levels.
According to local media reports, Lann was announced as Sweden’s health minister on Tuesday, September 9, following her predecessor, Acko Ankarberg Johansson’s, sudden resignation the day before.
