Impact of COVID-19 on aspects of healthcare Canada 2022
A majority of those surveyed in Canada in 2022 felt the COVID-19 pandemic had made things worse in some aspects of the health system – specifically in terms of allowing for timely appointments and consultations with doctors and specialists. Furthermore, 47 percent of respondents reported that being able to get timely and affordable mental health support was made more difficult by the pandemic. The only area where a significant number said that the pandemic had a positive impact was on virtual health – the idea of being able to consult health providers by phone or video.
