Wait time data for Fogo is sourced from no provincial system. ERstat displays the estimated time from triage registration to being seen by a physician.

All emergency departments in Fogo use the Canadian Triage and Acuity Scale (CTAS) to prioritize patients. Patients with more serious conditions are always seen first, regardless of arrival time or displayed wait. A shorter posted wait does not guarantee a shorter visit — it depends on the severity of your condition relative to other patients in the department.
