The current epidemic prevention campaign has led even the president of National Taiwan University Hospital and local public health departments to issue complaints that "the Department of Health is unable to control the syndicate hospitals" and that "SARS victims have all been pawned off on public hospitals." The high degree of privatization of hospitals has certainly created some obstacles for disease prevention.
這場防疫大戰中，連台大醫院院長和縣市衛生局都發出「衛生署指揮不動財團醫院」、「SARS 病人都推給公立醫院」等怨言，醫院高度私有化確實對防疫工作造成阻力。
