Overview

• Elisabet Lann collapsed during her first press conference on Tuesday as she stood beside Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson and Deputy Prime Minister Ebba Busch.
• Colleagues, security and journalists rushed to help, with Busch placing Lann in the recovery position before she was helped offstage.
• Lann returned shortly afterward and told attendees the episode was due to low blood sugar before the event was cut short and Q&A was canceled.
• Government sources and subsequent reports said she did not appear seriously injured, though it remained unclear whether she received formal medical treatment.
• Footage of the fall spread widely online as Lann stepped into the role following Acko Ankarberg Johansson’s resignation, with the portfolio already under scrutiny over long wait times and staffing pressures.
