Norway Crown Princess Mette-Marit Placed on Lung Transplant Waiting List
Norway's Crown Princess Mette-Marit, 52, who has pulmonary fibrosis since 2018, has been placed on a lung transplant waiting list due to a significant decline in her lung function. Medical experts at Oslo University Hospital described her condition as life-threatening, with an estimated survival of about a year without the transplant. The procedure is complex, requiring patients to be ill enough to need it but healthy enough to endure surgery. The royal family has adjusted plans amid her health crisis, and hospital officials confirmed she will receive standard treatment without special priority.
