explanation follows

if you mean in reference to the previous query and answer, it was capitalized just because I had copied it from the reference instead of typing it over, and also to call your attention to the change from "Nursing Assistance" which seems a bit awkward to "Nursing Assistant".

NURSING ASSISTANT and Obstetric School, subordinated to the Department of Medical Services and Health of the Ministry of Public Health.

Or:
NURSING ASSISTANT and Obstetric School, subordinate to the Department of Health and Medical Services of the Ministry of Public Health

Or:

NURSING ASSISTANT and Obstetric School, subordinate to the Ministry of Public Health's Department of Health and Medical Services

Nurse Assistance is not correct

Nurse assistance is incorrect because assistence is noun, nurse is noun. Correct expression is nurse assistant whereas assitant modifying nurse. It is a hospital occupation who works as nurse's aid. A nurse is quite possibly a registered nurse (abbreviated as RN), a higher ranking nurse with certificate and higher responsibility. Assistant means "serving as an aid". There is no need to be capitalized them as those are common nouns (unless that is a title of a person, under certain circumstance).
Hope this helps.
