Spanish term or phrase: adscripción sanitaria

Con la adscripción sanitaria o no sanitaria sucede algo parecido: filosofía y estrategia deben ser comunes, hay programas aplicables preferentemente por personal sanitario, con distintos grados de especialización, pero hay otros dispensables desde otros sistemas de atención.

1 hr confidence:

medical (or non-medical) status

Explanation:
From the context it seem that "ascripción sanitaria o no sanitaria" refers to whether a given programme or form of treatment or therapy is classified as a health-service matter or not, and accordingly whether it is administered by health workers or others. I think the best term to use for "sanitaria" here is "medical", because that is the criterion of whether it is the responsibility of the health service: they deal with medical matters, not non-medical ones. For "adscripción" I think "status" is probably suitable, since when preceded by "medical or non-medical" it indicates in which of these two alternative categories something is placed, which is the sense of "adscribir" here.

Here is an example of the same expression used in a context which, though not the same, is somewhat analogous and bears out what I have been saying:

"first, the mere frequency of a condition is not logically related to its medical or non-medical status"
