What happened in the press conference?
On 9 September, Elisabet Lan, who was handling the new Health Ministry during a government press conference in Stockholm, the capital of Sweden, suddenly fell on the stage. This was the first day of his appointment. In the video footage, the LAN gradually bowed forward as soon as the LAN spoke a few words and fainted on the floor, dropping the podium. Prime Minister Ulf Crystarson, Deputy Prime Minister Abba Bush and other officials, who were present on the stage, ran for immediate assistance.
Abba Bush helped him by bringing him to the recovery position, while the people present in the room were screaming to call an ambulance. LAN was immediately taken out, but she returned a few minutes later. He told reporters- ‘This was not a normal Tuesday. This can happen when there is a low blood sugar drop.

This video became increasingly viral on social media, which was seen by millions of people.
Who is Elisabet Lan?
Elisabet Lan is a member of the Christian Democrats Party and has been a former counselor of Gothenburg Municipal Corporation. She is known for working on social welfare and health policies. On 8 September, LAN was given the responsibility to LAN after a sudden resignation of former Health Minister Ekkar Akarberg Johansson.

This incident made his first day in the headlines, but LAN said with humor that it was not “normal”.

Learn how dangerous the sugar level
The normal blood sugar level is 70-140 mg/DL (3.9-7.8 mmol/l). Low sugar is believed to be below 70 mg/dl. But the danger increases when the level is reduced by 54 mg/dl (3 mmol/l) – this level is so dangerous that the person is unable to treat himself.

According to the Diabetes Association, the risk of death from untreated low sugar increases by 10%. LAN’s case was light, but it is a warning that forgetting food in stressful days (like new responsibility) can prove fatal.
