Medical - Medical (general) / medical
English term or phrase: The doctor other designated as health provider for this patient
Please explain what is the translation of other.
Does it mean the doctor formerly designated as health provider for the patient, or that a different doctor has to be designated as health provider for the patient?

Spanish translation:El médico de cabecera habitual de este paciente seguirá ocupándose del tratamiento mientras el pac..
Explanation:
En mi opinión, el "other" aquí significa que el médico, que por otra parte se ocupa de la salud de este paciente... (su médico de cabecera, probablemente), será quien siga con cierto tratamiento médico. Es decir, que el paciente se ha apuntado a un programa para recibir un tratamiento y en lugar de asignarle un nuevo médico, le dejan con el que ya se ocupaba de él.

Yo lo leo así:
The doctor -other designated as health provider for this patient- will continue the medical treatment as long as the patient is in the program.

El médico de cabecera habitual de este paciente seguirá ocupándose del tratamiento mientras el paciente participe en el programa.

Explanation:
En España decimos "médico de familia".
