Norwegian King Harald V underwent a successful pacemaker implant procedure on Saturday at Hospital Sultanah Maliha (HSM) in Langkawi, as confirmed by a statement released on the Norway royal family website www.royalcourt.no. The implantation was necessary due to a low heart rate, according to his physician, Bjørn Bendz.
"The decision to implant the pacemaker was made earlier Saturday, and the procedure was successful. His Majesty is doing well under the circumstances but still requires rest," said Bendz.
The implantation of the pacemaker aims to ensure a safer journey back home for the king. Plans for his medical transportation to Norway are underway and expected to take place within the coming days.
Harald had been receiving treatment at HSM after falling ill while holidaying in Malaysia, as reported by Bernama on February 28. He is scheduled to resume his official duties on March 8, when he is expected to meet the cabinet at the Royal Palace in Oslo, as reported by Xinhua.
