The mission of Health Promotion (Hungary) is to promote professional communication between health and other sectors, and to contribute to raising the standards of national and international health promotion and public health, thereby improving the health of the population. The journal publishes papers on the theory and international and national practice of health promotion and public health for all those involved directly or indirectly in health promotion, including professionals not only in health but also in other sectors such as education and social work.

The journal was launched in 1960 under the title Health Enlightenment, and from 1976 it was published as Health Education. The founders of the journal, Dr János Métneki and Dr Gyula Vimon, saw it as the spiritual continuation of the journal Egészség, which had been published as the official journal of the National Public Health Association since 1887. Since 2004 the journal has been called Health Promotion. In 2016, the journal was renewed, in the framework of which it switched to electronic publication, and for the first time among Hungarian public health journals, it publishes only peer-reviewed original publications, along with the latest news, developments, interesting facts, reports and opinions from the field of health promotion.
