Dar es Salaam. The Tanzania Red Cross Society (TRCS) has called for increased public education in Kagera Region in order to prevent disease outbreaks, saying the region’s geographical location makes it susceptible to disease admittance.

Kagera Region is located to the extreme northwest of Lake Victoria, bordering Uganda, Rwanda and Burundi.
