Sweden’s new Health Minister, Elisabet Lann, collapsed during a live press conference on Monday, just one day after her appointment, and the circumstances behind the incident remain unclear.
The 41-year-old had only recently taken office when she suddenly fell while addressing the media in Stockholm. Emergency teams acted quickly to provide support before she was transferred to the hospital for observation.
Officials have confirmed that she is in stable condition, but no information has yet been released about what triggered the collapse. The lack of details has sparked widespread speculation, with citizens expressing concern over whether it was caused by exhaustion, stress, or an underlying health condition.
Lann, who previously served as deputy mayor of Gothenburg, had been tasked with leading major healthcare reforms under the new cabinet. Her health scare has created uncertainty around how soon she can fully assume her duties at a time when expectations for the ministry’s work are high.
