Update on Crown Princess Mette Marit's health

Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess was diagnosed with pulmonary fibrosis in 2018. This disease causes scarring in the lungs, which leads to reduced oxygen uptake. This autumn, several tests have been performed, showing a clear deterioration in the Crown Princess's health. The doctors at Rikshospitalet have therefore begun preparations with a view to assessing her for a lung transplant.

– We are approaching the time when a lung transplant must be performed, and we are making the necessary preparations so that it will be possible when that time comes. It has not yet been decided when the Crown Princess will be placed on the waiting list for a lung transplant, states Are Martin Holm, head of department and professor at the Pulmonary Department at Rikshospitalet. Holm is a specialist in internal medicine and pulmonary medicine.

The Crown Princess has an increasing need for adapted training, rest, and recovery, but at the same time has a strong desire to continue working. The Crown Princess's program will be adapted to best combine her health condition and official role.
