Ontario hospitals cancelled elective surgeries at the beginning of the pandemic, and during the third wave.
The pandemic created a staggering backlog of almost 20 million health-care services, including doctors’ visits, diagnostic tests, treatments and surgeries.
Healthcare workers could now take up to two years to catch up with the backlog if they worked 120 per cent more hours than they did before the COVID-19 pandemic.
Caryn Lieberman has more.
