The Ministry of Human Capacities manages the system through the National Healthcare Service Centre (ÁEEK), which handles tasks like care coordination, hospital planning, and licensing, and acts as an umbrella organisation for local health agencies. In 2012, the central government took control of local hospitals from county and municipal governments, with the ÁEEK managing these state-owned facilities.
The single health insurance fund is managed by the National Institute of Health Insurance Fund Management (NEAK), a government entity supervised by the Ministry of Human Capacities. Funding is derived from payroll contributions by employers and employees, as well as direct government transfers.
The health care healthcare delivery system is heavily centered around hospitals. The national government's direct management of hospitals that were previously under local authority has made it the primary provider of both inpatient and outpatient services, although a few local governments still own multi-specialty outpatient facilities known as polyclinics.

The National eHealth Infrastructure and its specialised modules were established within the framework of projects project no. TIOP-2.3.2-12/1-2013-0001 and TIOP-2.3.1-13/1-2013-0001 under the social infrastructure operating programme with support from the European Union and co-funding by the Hungarian State, with a total investment of 4.87 billion Hungarian forints. Continuous development of the system is ensured by forms of close cooperation of between the Hungarian State and the European Union such as project no. 1.9.6 of the Human Resource Development Operating Programme / EFOP of Hungary.
Establishing the EESZT infrastructure was a significant milestone in the history of Hungary’s e-healthcare.
The core principal principle of the system is to interconnect the earlier fragmented health care healthcare data systems in all of Hungary, and - taking into account foreign examples - collect all data in a central system, thus the operating services of the Infrastructure would allow the various treatment locations to access the necessary information. Another important objective was to provide modern central services such as subsystems for issuing electronic receipts, electronic referrals, and medical documents, or the eProfile, which facilitate facilitates the wide-spread widespread adoption of modern health care.
The use of EESZT is has been mandatory from since November 2017 for publicly funded healthcare providers and pharmacies. For non-publicly funded healthcare providers – in the case of private providers who are obligated to provide data to the central implant registry and the prosthesis registry – as well as for the National Ambulance Service, it is mandatory from November 1, 2018. Thus, data will only be entered into the Space after joining, and previous patient data is not yet visible in EESZT. Private providers who have a valid operating license and perform outpatient medical or dental activities have a data reporting obligation to EESZT from 06.01.2020.

The National eHealth Infrastructure (EESZT) is a central IT system which that has set the foundations for ensuring communication between healthcare service providers.
The EESZT system transfers the health data of every patient to a central database which the various health professional professionals can consult through the corresponding hospital, general practitioner, or pharmacy systems with the appropriate authorisation.
As well as professionals, also patients can access their personal medical data, through the citizen portal.
