"What human being isn't going to be devastated by this news?"
A woman visiting the U.S. gave birth to a baby with microcephaly in Hackensack, New Jersey, after contracting the Zika virus elsewhere, according to ABC News.
The 31-year-old mother from Honduras is receiving "exceptional" care, hospital officials told ABC News.
Dr. Abdulla Al-Kahn, Hackensack University Medical Center’s director of maternal-fetal medicine and surgery, told WABC-TV that the prognosis for babies born with microcephaly — an abnormally small head and brain — is "generally very poor."
"It was very sad for us to see a baby born with such a condition," he said, adding that the baby’s mother is "hanging in there.”
"But of course what human being isn't going to be devastated by this news?" he said.
