Sweden’s newly appointed Health Minister, Elisabet Lann, experienced a sudden collapse during her first official press conference on September 9, 2025, in Stockholm. She was standing alongside Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson and Deputy Prime Minister Ebba Busch when the incident occurred. As Lann listened to another speaker, she suddenly leaned forward and fell, causing her podium to topple. Security personnel and colleagues quickly assisted her, and she was escorted out of the room.
Lann later returned to the briefing and explained that the collapse was caused by a sudden drop in blood sugar levels. She reassured the public that she did not suffer any serious injuries and confirmed that the incident was unrelated to any underlying health issues. Following the incident, the press conference was canceled. Lann’s appointment comes shortly after the resignation of her predecessor, Acko Ankarberg Johansson.
Before becoming Health Minister, Lann served as a municipal councilor in Gothenburg and held roles such as deputy director of the Cabinet Office. She holds a master’s degree in peace and development studies and political science. The collapse has attracted widespread media attention, with people expressing concern for her health and wishing her a swift recovery. Authorities have confirmed that Lann is resting and will continue her ministerial duties after medical evaluation.
The incident highlights the pressures and demands faced by new political appointees. Officials are monitoring her condition, and no further complications have been reported.
