Norwegian Crown Princess Mette-Marit underwent a successful lung transplant in Oslo. The fifty-two-year-old wife of Crown Prince Haakon is recovering after the procedure, which, according to the Royal Palace, went successfully. She is expected to remain in the hospital for several more weeks. hnonline.sk ↗
Mette-Marit had been on the waiting list for a lung transplant since the beginning of June. In 2018, doctors diagnosed her with pulmonary fibrosis, a chronic and incurable disease in which lung tissue becomes scarred and breathing gradually worsens. Medication can slow the progression of the disease, but in advanced cases, transplantation is often one of the last treatment options. novinky.cz ↗
Patients are generally placed on the waiting list for a lung transplant when it is estimated that, without the procedure, they would have approximately one year left to live. Reports on the Norwegian Crown Princess's health have also contributed to increased public interest in organ donation. teraz.sk ↗
The procedure comes at a time that is also challenging for the Norwegian royal family due to other events surrounding its members. The coming weeks will be crucial for Mette-Marit's recovery after the transplant and for monitoring how her health continues to develop. Deutschlandfunk ↗
