Early detection of breast cancer: Shiraz Haniff’s mission with RDISA
With over three decades of expertise in the financial services sector, Shiraz Haniff has built a distinguished career. However, his life’s purpose took a far-reaching turn when his wife, Ferzana, was diagnosed with breast cancer. Her unwavering courage, resilience and determination to overcome the disease ignited a new passion in Shiraz: the mission to save lives through early cancer detection and preventative healthcare services.
Today, Shiraz proudly represents Radhiant Diagnostic Imaging SA (RDISA), a pioneer in mobile health screening solutions across South Africa. Radhiant specialises in providing modern radiology services, with a focus on mobile mammography and advanced diagnostic solutions. By merging 3D technology with compassionate care, RDISA brings healthcare directly to workplaces, wellness events and communities, ensuring accessibility for all.
A Team Driven by Purpose
At the heart of RDISA is a team of passionate, highly skilled professionals who share Shiraz’s vision. From experienced radiographers to dedicated healthcare professionals and wellness marketing advocates, the team strives to deliver smooth, professional and impactful services tailored to meet the diverse needs of clients. Together, they uphold the highest standards of care and efficiency, ensuring every individual screened receives exceptional service.
Inspiration Through Advocacy
Ferzana Haniff, a cancer survivor, a devoted mother of four and a relentless advocate for breast cancer awareness, plays an integral role in Radhiant’s mission. Her personal journey not only inspires countless individuals but also shows the critical importance of early detection. Through her advocacy, Ferzana helps educate communities, encouraging them to prioritise preventative healthcare.
Radhiant’s Mission: Early Detection Saves Lives
Radhiant is committed to transforming lives by helping individuals to take control of their health. Through partnerships with corporates, organisations, wellness programmes and community initiatives, RDISA provides the tools and resources necessary for early health management. Every screening is an opportunity to offer hope, prevent life-altering diagnoses and change the narrative for families across South Africa.
For Shiraz, this mission is deeply personal. Witnessing Ferzana’s strength throughout her battle with cancer has profoundly shaped his purpose. Each screening conducted by RDISA is a chance to rewrite someone’s story and prevent another family from enduring similar challenges.
Honoured with the Men of Valour Award
Shiraz’s dedication to saving lives and advocating for early detection was recently recognised with the prestigious Men of Valour Award in Gauteng. This honour reflects the unwavering support of RDISA, without whom this achievement would not have been possible. Shiraz extends heartfelt gratitude to Dr Anith Chacko from RDISA for providing the platform to make a meaningful difference and for helping his vision to become a reality.
“This award is not just a personal accolade but a reflection of the incredible work we do as a team. Together, we are proving that early detection saves lives and ensuring that no family faces cancer alone,” Shiraz shares.
Changing Lives, One Screening at a Time
Radhiant Diagnostic Imaging SA is more than a healthcare provider; it is a beacon of hope for individuals and families navigating the complexities of cancer prevention and detection. Under Shiraz’s leadership and with Ferzana’s inspiring advocacy, Radhiant continues to break barriers, making preventative healthcare more accessible and impactful. Each step forward brings us closer to a future where early intervention is the norm and fewer lives are lost to cancer. At Radhiant, the journey is about more than just delivering high-quality healthcare; it’s about changing lives, one screening at a time.
