Albertans experienced a notable increase in wait times at walk-in clinics in 2023, with an average wait of 66 minutes, as revealed in Medimap’s latest report.

This 32-minute increase from the previous year underscores a growing concern over healthcare accessibility in the province, amidst a broader national trend of extended wait times. The report not only reflects the challenges patients face in accessing timely medical care but also points to the broader issue of doctor shortages affecting family practices throughout Alberta.
