Hungary has an area of 93,030 square kilometers (35,900 square miles), the size of the state of Indiana in the United States. It is landlocked by the Czech Republic and the Slovak Republic to the north, Austria to the west, Yugoslavia to the south, and Romania and the Soviet Union to the east. Although the health care system is based on the Soviet system, there have been dramatic changes since 1991, when the soviet Union and its Eastern European partners discarded their communist structures and the Soviet empire was disbanded. In this report, the current Hungarian health care system and the political structure in which it is housed will be described in terms of a key set of characteristics and their subparts. The purpose of this approach is to facilitate comparison of the Hungarian system with other national health care systems. An expanded version of this article will appear in an upcoming second edition of the College's book, International Health Care: A Framework for Comparing National Health Care Systems, by Drs. Mendoza and Henderson.
匈牙利面积为93,030平方公里（35,900平方英里），相当于美国印第安纳州的面积。它北与捷克共和国和斯洛伐克共和国接壤，西与奥地利接壤，南与南斯拉夫接壤，东与罗马尼亚和苏联接壤。尽管其医疗保健系统以苏联体系为基础，但自1991年以来发生了巨大变化，当时苏联及其东欧伙伴抛弃了共产主义结构，苏联帝国解体。在本报告中，将根据一组关键特征及其子部分来描述当前的匈牙利医疗保健系统及其所处的政治结构。这种方法的目的是便于将匈牙利的系统与其他国家的医疗保健系统进行比较。本文的扩展版本将出现在学院即将出版的第二版书籍《国际医疗保健：比较国家医疗保健系统的框架》中，作者是门多萨博士和亨德森博士。
