Question
My son doesn’t know what disease he has, and his development has always been slow. After undergoing a physical examination at the hospital, he was diagnosed with Down Syndrome. I want to know how much the treatment costs. Is the treatment expensive for Down Syndrome?
Answer
Down Syndrome, also known as trisomy 21 or congenital syndrome, is a disease caused by chromosomal abnormalities. Currently, there is no effective treatment for Down Syndrome. Clinically, comprehensive measures need to be taken, including medical and social services, for long-term education and training of patients. Under supervision, patients can basically take care of themselves and complete simple social work. The cost of treatment varies depending on the region and hospital, so it is recommended that you consult local hospitals or medical institutions for relevant information.
