Investing hugely in cancer equipment led Denmark to expand its diagnostic capacity and make it possible for cancer patients to receive treatment within two weeks of diagnosis, compared with around nine weeks in UK.

This is a surprisingly vast difference in the time between discovery and treatment. Condensed, it's x ≤ 0.5 months versus x ≥ 1.75 months (if a month is strictly limited to four weeks).
