The press conference on September 9 in the capital Stockholm fell into chaos when Ms. Elisabet Lann - the new Swedish Minister of Health - suddenly fainted on the podium, witnessed by Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson and many senior officials.
Accordingly, the incident occurred when Ms. Lann was standing next to the Prime Minister and the cabinet. She suddenly wavered and collapsed, her head hit hard on the floor, shocking everyone present. The entire moment was captured in a video and quickly spread on the media and social media, attracting public attention.
Immediately after Ms. Lann suffered a stroke, Prime Minister Kristersson and officials immediately ran to support and called for emergency medical help. The minister received first aid on the spot before being taken to the hospital by ambulance for health check-up.
Information from local media said that Ms. Lann had regained consciousness and confirmed that the cause of her fainting was due to hypoglycemia. The Swedish government later issued a statement reassuring the people that her health had stabilized and there was nothing to worry about.
It is noteworthy that Ms. Elisabet Lann has just officially taken over as Health Minister on September 8, replacing her predecessor who had previously unexpectedly resigned. The incident at the first press conference caused domestic public attention to her health condition as well as the beginning of her term.
