The article provides a comparative analysis of the current state of legal regulation of health care in Ukraine and Hungary. The importance of public health issues has led to their elevation to the level of one of the most important state tasks, an internal function of the modern state, and this requires not only effective public administration, but also the formation and implementation of state policy in this area. This article is devoted to the formation and implementation of the state policy of legal regulation of the healthcare sector in Ukraine and Hungary. In the process of writing it, the author studied the system of legal relations and state bodies that perform the relevant functions and tasks in the formation and implementation of state health policy, analyzed the system of legislation that regulates them and the practice of its application in both countries. The article defines the place and role of the Verkhovna Rada in relation to health policy in comparison with the role of the Hungarian State Assembly, the Cabinet of Ministers, and the system of executive authorities of both countries in its implementation.
 The article, like most modern scientific developments in this field, covers the problems of three scientific disciplines - medicine, management and law. In the process of preparing this article, the author has processed a significant amount of medical literature, on social medicine and health care organization, and thoroughly researched their scientific issues both in Ukraine and Hungary. However, he tried to cover the issues and problems arising in this area from the standpoint of legal and administrative law.
