In the past, the Medical Care Law required that: "Where a hospital or clinic encounters a patient in a dangerous condition, it shall, in accordance with its facilities, provide emergency treatment or take all such measures as are necessary, without undue delay."
過去「醫療法」規定：「醫院、診所遇有危急病人，應即依其設備予以救治或採取一切必要措施，不得無故拖延。」
