Wait times for Canadians at walk-in medical clinics rose by nearly 50 percent in 2022 compared to the previous year, providing yet another symptom of the crisis in health care.

The recently released Medimap Walk-in Clinic Wait Time Index shows that Canadians had to wait 37 minutes on average to see a doctor last year, a 12-minute increase from the year before, when the average wait was 25 minutes.
