Canadians are waiting longer for some surgeries, including for cancer and knee replacements, than they were before the pandemic, even as the number of procedures being performed has increased, according to a new report.The Canadian Institute for Health Information (CIHI), in an analysis released on Thursday, said the country’s aging population, health work-force shortages and more medically complex patients are reasons for the delays. This is in addition to competition for limited hospital resources, such as operating rooms and beds.
