The newly appointed health minister in Sweden, Elisabet Lann, collapsed during a press conference on Tuesday at the start of the new parliamentary year of 2025-2026.

The minister, a municipal councillor in Gothenburg, was announced as health minister on Tuesday after her predecessor, Acko Ankarberg Johansson, suddenly resigned the day before.

Lann, who is from the Christian Democratic Congress, was accompanied by Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson and other officials when she suddenly collapsed on the stage, hitting her head on the lectern in the process.

The party leader Ebba Busch and other officials present quickly stepped in to help the minister, who received proper attention from security personnel before being led out of the room.

Lann returned to the event room shortly after saying, “This was not exactly a normal Tuesday, and this is what can happen when you have a blood sugar drop.”

However, it was not clear to the people present at the event whether Lann required any medical treatment, though she did not appear to be injured. The press conference was abruptly cancelled.

According to Euractiv, it was reported that Lann told reporters that the country’s healthcare system is of high quality, but the long queues need to be addressed.
