Since the 1980s, Kasavuli, often known as the TV queen, has played a significant role in Kenyan media. Before retiring in 2015, she was one of the first anchors to host a live television program for a privately held TV station in the 1990s.
All women are at risk for cervical cancer and this disease occurs most often in women over the age of 30. The human papillomavirus (HPV) is the main cause of cervical cancer, HPV is a common virus that is passed from one person to another during sex.
Most sexually active people will have HPV at some point in their lives, but few women will get cervical cancer. Other factors that can increase the risk of cervical cancer are intimacy at an early age, multiple sexual partners, sexually transmitted diseases, HIV and cigarette smoking.
Kenya has a population of 16.2 million women ages 15 years and older who are at risk of developing cervical cancer.
Current estimates indicate that every year 5,236 women are diagnosed with cervical cancer and 3,211 die from the disease. Cervical cancer ranks as the second most frequent cancer among women in Kenya and the second most frequent cancer among women between 15 and 44 years of age.
Kasavuli began her career in 1980 as a radio continuity announcer at the Voice of Kenya, which was later renamed KBC.
Later, in 1985, Kasavuli would switch over to television at the company. After working for two years without any prior professional training, Kasavuli enrolled in the Kenya Institute of Mass Communication.
Catherine joined the founding group of KTN, the nation’s first privately owned television station, in March 1990. She changed the station’s pre-recorded format and was the first anchor to broadcast live.
After working for KTN for 17 years, Kasavuli left the network in 2007 to work for Royal Media Services’ Citizen TV, where she later held the position of corporate affairs manager. In 2015, Kasavuli retired from the spotlight to work behind the scenes.
