截至2003年5月中旬，高雄和平医院有20多名护士和医生以及长庚医院约120名专业人员辞职，可能是因为担心这些医院再次爆发SARS。医院人手不足，令人沮丧。辞职的医护人员解释说，他们的医院没有足够的设施，应对SARS的设备很差。此外，由于中国传统的文化习俗，（例如，父母为孩子做重大决定，妻子不是家庭收入的主要来源，妇女应该以家庭为导向，而不是以职业为导向），一些护士的家人积极阻止她们上班，担心她们会把非典带回家。
As of mid-May 2003, more than 20 nurses and physicians from Hoping Hospital and approximately 120 professional staff at Chang-Gung Memorial Hospital in Kaohsiung had resigned, probably because of the fear of facing another SARS outbreak in these hospitals. Hospitals were discouragingly short staffed. Healthcare workers who had resigned explained that their hospitals did not have adequate facilities and were poorly equipped to deal with SARS.In addition, because of traditional Chinese cultural customs (eg, parents make major decisions for their children, wives are not the major source of family income, and women should be family oriented but not career-oriented), some nurses' families actively prevented them from going to work for fear that they would bring SARS home to their families.
