Nova Scotia stands out in a recent Medimap report as the only province experiencing a decrease in walk-in clinic wait times, offering a glimmer of hope amidst widespread healthcare delays.
In 2023, Nova Scotians waited an average of 72 minutes to see a doctor at a walk-in clinic, marking an 11-minute improvement from the previous year.
Medimap, committed to enhancing healthcare accessibility, collected data from over 1,200 clinics across six provinces, revealing a national average wait time of 68 minutes. This initiative is part of our broader effort to provide real-time wait information, helping to direct patients to the most efficient care options available and ultimately reducing the strain on emergency departments.
