The Member of Parliament for Agona West, Ernestina Ofori Dangbey, has supported Stephen Omarikesie, a resident of Swedru in Agona West, with GH¢10,000 to undergo throat cancer surgery after he accidentally swallowed his artificial teeth.
The legislator on Wednesday, February 19, 2025, paid a visit to Stephen to present the gift to him.
Stephen Omarikesie, a 40-year-old man, has been battling throat cancer after swallowing an artificial tooth in Agona Otaipirow, located in the Central Region.
He had previously had artificial teeth fixed, but unfortunately, one became loose and was accidentally swallowed.
This incident led to the development of throat cancer, as the artificial tooth got stuck in his throat, necessitating surgery at the Korle-Bu Teaching Hospital.
Mary Amissah, an aunt of Stephen, expressed the family’s profound gratitude to the Member of Parliament for her generosity.
She stated that the family had faith in the MP, and she indeed came to their aid.
“We are incredibly grateful for what you have done for us,” she said.
“We knew you would help us when we reached out, and you truly delivered. We pray that God blesses you with a long life so you can continue to help others as you have helped us.”
