About
Dr Adwoa Danso (Dr Adwoa Danso-Boamah) is a London-based GP working in both NHS and private general practice. She is the founder of Riwaa Clinic on Harley Street and the creator of The Clinic Diaries, an online platform she uses to share medically-accurate, accessible health information — particularly for the UK Ghanaian community and the wider Black diaspora.
Alongside her clinical work she is the resident doctor on “The Medical Show” on GN Radio, broadcasting weekly from the station’s Oval headquarters in south London. On the show she covers topics common in her listeners’ lives — malaria, hypertension, fertility, pregnancy, contraception, and the impact of social media on mental health.
She is an executive at the Ghanaian Doctors and Dentists Association UK (GDDAUK), supporting health initiatives across the UK and Ghana. Her advocacy work earned her the Health and Wellbeing Advocate 2019 award at the National BAME Health and Social Care Awards.
Health is the real wealth and education is the key to empowerment.
