Norway’s King Harald has had a temporary pacemaker fitted at a hospital in Malaysia after falling ill on holiday there.
The procedure, which took place Saturday at Hospital Sultanah Maliha on the island of Langkawi, was undertaken due to the 87-year-old monarch’s low heart rate, the royal household said in a statement.
“His Majesty is doing well under the circumstances but still requires rest,” the palace said, adding that the king’s personal physician had advised the the procedure will make the return back to Norway, which is likely to take place in the coming days, safer.
His transport will be facilitated by The Norwegian Government, while the Norwegian Armed Forces are responsible for the practical arrangements for his return to Norway, the royal household noted. "
