In what has been hailed as a medical world first, doctors in the Czech Republic delivered a healthy baby girl 117 days after her mother was declared brain-dead.

Reuters reported that the pregnant mother, whose identity has not been revealed, was rushed to the hospital in April after suffering a severe stroke. Shortly after arriving at the medical facility, the woman’s brain function ceased.
