Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic. I can understand your concern. Surgical correction of septal defect in heart (hole in heart) is must if it is large and patient is having congenital heart diseases. Since your daughter is having both, large defect and downs syndrome, surgical repair is must in her case. So better to consult pediatric cardiovascular surgeon and discuss all these. In India, in bangalore, Satya sai heart hospital is world famous for pediatric heart surgery. And they do surgeries forum free of cost in some patients. So contact this hospital and discuss your financial matters with them. They will surely help you. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wishing good health to your daughter. Thanks.
