Norway's King Harald has been discharged from hospital after getting pacemaker
- Country:
- Norway
Norway's King Harald has been discharged from the hospital after receiving a permanent pacemaker earlier this week and is doing well, the royal court said on Thursday.
The king will be on sick leave until April 8 to rest and recuperate, the court said in a statement. The 87-year-old was hospitalised late last month for an infection while on holiday in Malaysia, and received a temporary pacemaker at a hospital there on March 2.
He was later transferred to Norway for further treatment and received a pacemaker implant on Tuesday
in a scheduled operation to help compensate for a low heart rate. Crown Prince Haakon has been carrying out his father's duties in the latter's absence.
