Since 2018, the 101 Endowment Fund (One O One) has been working to advance intensive care by funding projects for healthcare providers' education and training (Better Care), innovative initiatives to accelerate research (Better Research), as well as support actions to bring together healthcare providers, patients, and families for better living during and after intensive care (Better Support).
Every year, more than 30 million patients are admitted to intensive care because of a life-threatening condition.
The word “tomorrow” takes on a whole new meaning for them and their families because of the uncertainty and hope that rests on the performance of the medical staff. From one hospital to another, there is a disparity of practices and a discrepancy in performance that can increase mortality by heart failure by 2,7 and increase risk of nosocomial infection by 18. Our collective responsibility is huge: to put into practice treatments that maximise the chances of survival and full recovery for each individual by minimising the risk of undesirable events linked to care. We created 101 for one reason: to take injustice and randomness out of the equation when it comes to quality care access and to guarantee that each patient receives precise medical care that ensures a complete recovery.
