Norway’s Hovi tells about the plan around Crown Princess Mette-Marit’s upcoming lung transplant.
The next update on Mette-Marit’s condition will be given only after the operation. PDO
The Court of Norway has published follow-up announcement about Crown Princess Mette-Marit’s planned lung transplant. Hovi announced on Friday, June 5, that Mette-Marit has been placed in the organ transplant queue. He has pulmonary fibrosis.
The press release explains how the Norwegian Court will communicate about the crown princess’s health in the future and what will happen next.
– The next update on the crown princess’s state of health will be given after the lung transplant. After this, the state of health will be informed according to the situation until the Crown Princess is discharged from Rikshospitalet.
After being discharged from the hospital, Mette-Marit faces a longer period of rehabilitation and training, during which updates on her health status will not be given as a matter of principle.
Hovi also tells about a surprising detail related to the lung transplant.
– In Norway, it is forbidden to search for or publish information on the basis of which the organ donor and recipient can be identified. This means that publishing the time of the transfer may be against the law. For this reason, the King’s House and Rikshospitalet will carefully evaluate when, after the transfer has taken place, information on the matter can be published.
Hovi said earlier on Friday that Mette-Marit’s surgery will be performed as soon as possible.
Senior physician and lung disease specialist Are Holm and manager Arnt Fiane The Rikshospitalet gave more details about the Crown Princess’ health at a press conference held on Friday.
– The Crown Princess’s condition has deteriorated significantly over the past six months, said doctor Holm.
– His lungs have gotten a lot more scar tissue in the last year. Lung function tests show that his condition has deteriorated significantly in the past three months alone. This is dangerous, Holm continued.
According to Holm, a thorough assessment of Mette-Marit’s health has been made. He also opened up to the media more about what pulmonary fibrosis means for Mette-Marit.
– There are medicines that can slow down the progression of the disease. This can be a fatal disease. The only way to cure fibrosis is a lung transplant.
Mette-Marit was rushed to the hospital on Thursday, June 4. He left the hospital that evening.
