Best of Best Review is excited to honor Radhiant Diagnostic Imaging SA Inc with the prestigious Best Mobile Mammography Service in South Africa of 2025 award. Founded in 2023, Radhiant has become a trailblazer in South Africa’s healthcare landscape, providing groundbreaking solutions for breast cancer screening. Their fully mobile, off-the-grid mammography units are changing the game by making high-quality screenings accessible to women, particularly in remote and underserved regions across the country.

Redefining Healthcare Access with Mobility and Innovation

Radhiant's mobile mammography service is more than just a convenience — it’s a revolutionary approach to solving one of the biggest healthcare challenges in South Africa: accessibility. The country’s vast rural and underserved areas have historically lacked the infrastructure necessary to deliver essential services like mammography. With only a handful of private radiology practices spread across an entire province with a population of over 7 million, many women face long travel times, waiting periods, and the financial strain of accessing life-saving screenings.

Radhiant’s solution is simple yet powerful: bring the healthcare directly to the women who need it most. With their mobile mammography units, Radhiant is able to reach even the most isolated communities, providing screenings in locations that would typically have limited access to such services. These compact, fully self-sufficient units are designed to operate completely off the grid, removing the traditional reliance on local infrastructure. This ability to function without connection to local power sources and facilities is a game-changer in regions where healthcare resources are often overburdened or unavailable entirely.

State-of-the-Art Technology for Early Detection

What truly sets Radhiant apart is its unwavering commitment to high-quality service, which is why their mammography service uses the latest 3D tomosynthesis technology. Unlike traditional 2D mammography, 3D tomosynthesis provides clearer, more detailed images, particularly in women with dense breast tissue, making it easier to detect abnormalities in earlier, more treatable stages of breast cancer. This advanced technology is crucial for ensuring that no woman is missed, especially when access to regular screenings is often limited or non-existent.

The integration of cutting-edge imaging technology ensures that every woman who steps into one of Radhiant’s mobile units receives the highest level of care available. The seamless integration of telecoms infrastructure and RIS/PACS platforms means that every image taken is promptly processed, reported, and communicated, streamlining the entire process for the patient and healthcare provider alike.

Equity, Access, and Patient Empowerment

At the heart of Radhiant's mission is a strong belief in healthcare equity and accessibility. "Our 'why' is rooted in equity, access, and early detection," says Dr. Anith Chacko, Founder and CEO of Radhiant. The company is committed to ensuring that every woman, no matter her geographical location, financial standing, or personal circumstances, has access to quality breast cancer screening. By eliminating logistical barriers, Radhiant ensures that more women can get screened early, which is key to successful treatment and survival.

Additionally, Radhiant is committed to enhancing the patient experience. Through the development of a patient-facing mobile app, women are empowered to manage their health more efficiently. The app allows users to schedule appointments, access results, and track reimbursements, ensuring that women can actively take charge of their own healthcare journey. This digital innovation not only makes the process more convenient but also supports Radhiant’s broader vision of providing accessible and transparent healthcare.

Proven Impact and Growing Reach

Since its inception, Radhiant has made a significant impact on the South African healthcare system, serving over 10,000 women across more than 300 locations. The company’s model of care has received praise from both individuals and corporate partners, with collaborations established with leading medical aids and national employers such as BankMed, MedShield, Medicross, and Fuso Trucks. These partnerships have been vital in extending Radhiant’s reach and influence, helping to bring life-saving mammography services to a broader audience.

Radhiant is on track to expand even further. With the goal of reaching 50,000 women annually within the next three years, the company is scaling up its operations without compromising the quality of care. Their commitment to quality and accessibility has fostered trust among patients, healthcare professionals, and major stakeholders alike.

Overcoming Challenges to Deliver Excellence

Launching a mobile mammography service was not without its challenges. Dr. Chacko recalls the skepticism around whether a mobile model could deliver the same quality of service as traditional, fixed facilities. However, through rigorous investment in top-tier equipment, the development of custom IT solutions, and a steadfast commitment to regulatory compliance, Radhiant has overcome these hurdles and set a new standard for mobile healthcare delivery.

A particular focus has been placed on maintaining the highest clinical standards. "I continue to personally report mammograms, ensuring that clinical standards remain high," notes Dr. Chacko. This hands-on involvement in clinical oversight demonstrates Radhiant’s dedication to delivering top-notch care every step of the way.

Looking to the Future: Growth, Innovation, and Impact

The future of Radhiant looks bright, with the company’s sights set on both innovation and growth. Radhiant is exploring AI-assisted diagnostics to improve the accuracy and efficiency of their services further. Additionally, strategic growth is underway, with plans to expand their fleet of mobile units and increase partnerships with insurers, ensuring broader access to affordable mammograms. Long-term, Radhiant envisions integrating more women’s health services into their mobile platform, further expanding their impact and improving overall healthcare access.
