A couple who lost their daughter to an undiagnosed heart defect hours after her birth hope an inquest can ensure other babies don't suffer a similar fate.

Thea Flaskett died at Redcliffe Hospital, north of Brisbane, at 4.17am on September 11, 2023 a little more than four hours after she was born.

Meg and James Flaskett on Friday attended the final day of an inquest into their daughter's death.

"We came to this inquest to honour Thea, to honour her life," Meg Flaskett said.

"We believe Thea deserved better care and a coronial investigation that honoured her with honesty, dignity and compassion"

"We truly hope that the inquest, whenever the findings are delivered, showcases the true findings from her life so we can make the right recommendations so future babies don't suffer."
