Intensive care is A key issue
Since 2018, 101 Fund (One O One) – a non profit organisation authorised to issue tax receipts – is exclusively dedicated to the progress of intensive care in France and throughout the world by financing education programs for healthcare workers, research projects, and actions to accompany patients and their families. Our ambition is to save 1 million lives in 4 years and ensure quality care for everyone by investing in the field of information technology and artificial intelligence, combined with a rigorous scientific method deployed throughout our international network of connected intensive care units (more than 1200 units in 66 countries).

101, A DATA-DRIVEN INITIATIVE TO SAVE 1 MILLION LIVES.
Intensive care is an issue for each and everyone of us. MAKE A DONATION today and for tomorrow. By supporting 101, you are helping healthcare professionals offer a “second life” to patients in critical condition, and give them the best chances for a full recovery.

“Every year, more than 30 million patients are admitted to intensive care units due to a potentially life-threatening condition.
For both them and their families, the word “tomorrow” takes on a different meaning, full of uncertainties and hope that rests on the medical teams’ performance. From one hospital to another, there exists a disparity of practices and rifts in performance that can multiply by 2.7 the mortality rate of heart failure or by 18 the risk of nosocomial infection. Our collective responsibility is huge: implement treatments that maximise the chances of survival and total recovery of each individual by minimising the risk of undesirable outcomes 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.”
Every day, human beings move forward, standing strong. This is our most natural position. This is our HEALTHY STATE “1”, the state of life and energy. This is our active state, the state we all desire.
A disease, an infection or an accident can change this and threaten our lives acutely. We then enter in the state of “0”. This number represents suspended time and absence. Our destiny depends on the care of an ICU team and the support of our family.
In a well-executed choreography, caregivers team up to support failing organs, acutely cure and care for patients and families. They have only one objective: allow patients to quickly recover to STATE “1”, with no long term consequence of this life-threatening episode. This is the purpose of intensive care medicine.
