A university hospital in Hungary says a premature but healthy baby was delivered after doctors kept the child's brain-dead mother on life support for three months.
The University of Debrecen said Wednesday that some of the mother's organs — her heart, liver, kidneys and pancreas — were donated to four recipients two days after the delivery.
The university in eastern Hungary said "the child is healthy and developing normally." It did not give the child's gender or exact birth date.
The baby's relatives have declined to go public; Hungarian laws shield the identity of organ donors and recipients.
