Norway's Crown Princess Mette-Marit Undergoes Lung Transplant

Norway's Crown Princess Mette-Marit has undergone a lung transplant. The surgery addresses a health issue she has managed for several years. She was diagnosed with pulmonary fibrosis eight years ago. This condition has been a known part of her medical history since then. Earlier this month, her treatment needs escalated significantly. She was placed on a waiting list for organ donation during this time. The recent transplant procedure follows this placement on the list. The operation marks a major step in her ongoing medical care.
