Question
During the prenatal examination, no abnormalities were found, but the newborn was diagnosed with Down Syndrome. How much is the approximate cost of treating Down Syndrome?
Answer
Currently, there is no complete cure for Down Syndrome. If treatment can be initiated early, the prognosis may be more optimistic, and the treatment cost at this stage is at least tens of thousands of New Taiwan Dollars. If the condition is more severe, the treatment cost may reach hundreds of thousands of New Taiwan Dollars, and there is no guarantee of a cure. Patients with Down Syndrome typically undergo rehabilitation therapy, with monthly costs ranging from several thousand to ten thousand New Taiwan Dollars.
