TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - UN chief Ban Ki-moon has said discrimination against aid workers who return home from the Ebola crisis in West Africa is "unacceptable".
Strict quarantine rules are hampering aid efforts when more health workers are needed in order to deal with the crisis, he told BBC News in Nairobi.
International efforts have been insufficient but are now "catching up", the UN secretary general added.
"We have been really trying to mobilise in a massive way," he said as quoted by BBC News.
Mr Ban told the BBC's Dennis Okari that the World Health Organization (WHO) and scientists around the world were trying to develop vaccines.
The UN's main objectives included stopping the virus, finding a treatment and preventing the spread of Ebola, he said.
