In fact, because Taiwan did not immediately arrange for any specific hospital to handle all SARS cases, many different hospitals have been forced to accept SARS patients. Although there are now ten designated SARS hospitals, even these may have to transfer patients to large medical centers with better facilities and more complete respiratory equipment when the condition of these patients worsens.
事實上，由於台灣遲遲沒有建立一條鞭式的「SARS 專責醫院」，導致各醫院都必須承接 SARS 病患，連目前規劃的全國十家專門收治 SARS 病患的專責醫院，如台北市松山醫院、台北縣三重醫院等，碰到患者病情惡化時，還是得將他們轉送到醫療水準更高、呼吸治療設備更完善的大型醫學中心。
