Ammon News - Sweden’s newly appointed Minister for Health, Elisabet Lann, collapsed onstage during a live press conference on Tuesday, Sept. 9.

The incident happened while Lann, 48, and other government officials, including Swedish Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson and Christian Democrats party leader Ebba Busch, were taking questions from journalists. Lann slowly fell forward as she listened to another official speaking in the room, as seen in footage from SESVT shared by CBS News.

As she became unconscious, she fell forward and took down the translucent podium with her. The other politicians and a few journalists came to her side to assist her.

Government security then assisted her, and she was able to return to the conference. Upon her arrival, she said she fell due to a "blood sugar drop," per SVT.

“This was not exactly a normal Tuesday, and this is what can happen when you have a blood sugar drop," she said.

The politician later left the room, but she returned a few minutes later, according to SVT.

It hasn't been reported if Lann, who did not appear to be seriously injured, received medical attention.
