Canada’s health-care wait times hit 27.4 weeks in 2022—longest ever recorded – Canadian Investor

VANCOUVER – Canadian patients waited longer than ever this year for medical treatment, finds a new study released by the Fraser Institute, an independent, non-partisan Canadian public policy think-tank.

The study examines the total wait time faced by patients across 12 medical specialties from referral by a general practitioner to consultation with a specialist, to when the patient ultimately receives treatment. Patients also experience significant waiting times for various diagnostic technologies. This year, Canadians could expect to wait 5.4 weeks for a computed tomography scan, 10.6 weeks for a magnetic resonance imaging scan, and 4.9 weeks for an ultrasound.
