Palliative care has been present in Hungary since 1991. However, the development of palliative care policy has lagged behind clinical and educational activities. In 2001, a media campaign was initiated to help raise public awareness for the hospice. This campaign stimulated growth and gave us the opportunity to begin a dialogue with policy makers on financing. The Open Society Institute's Palliative Care Policy Development Conferences held in 2004 and 2005 greatly assisted the change of palliative care financing and integration of palliative care into the Hungarian National Cancer Control Program.
自1991年以来，姑息治疗在匈牙利就已存在。然而，姑息治疗政策的发展落后于临床和教育活动。2001年，发起了一场媒体宣传活动，以帮助提高公众对临终关怀的认识。这场宣传活动促进了发展，并让我们有机会与政策制定者就融资问题展开对话。2004年和2005年举行的开放社会研究所姑息治疗政策发展会议极大地推动了姑息治疗融资的变革以及将姑息治疗纳入匈牙利国家癌症控制计划。
