The World Bank offered $150 million Thursday to fight the Zika outbreak and provide medical care.
The institution said more funds could be made available if needed in the future.
The Zika outbreak, which has spread to more than two dozen countries and territories in the Americas, is likely to slow the region's economy, decreasing gross domestic product in 2016 by $3.5 billion, or 0.06%, according to the World Bank.
