"MANTENIMIENTO HOSPITAL"

Spanish to English Medical Medical: Health Care
This is in the header of a fax as if it were the sender. The subject of the fax is medical reports from Navarra. Could this be "Hospital Support"? "Hospital Operations"? "Hospital Records"? Maybe the name of a Hospital... any guesses? or perhaps you know...

You make good points I really appreciate everyone's help!
Maybe, not altogether wrong Do not think of a maintenance dpt. only as a technical service (repairs) dpt. It could be in charge of archives/storage of medical records.
Ray Ables (asker) Nov 9, 2010:
Thanks, but I doubt it's "Maintenance" Because why would the Maintenance Department fax medical records anywhere? Unless it has duties in Spain that include record management, which I doubt...

HOSPITAL MAINTENANCE (DEPARTMENT)

Could it be a Division/Department of the Hospital in charge of Maintenance? (as in the websites below)

"HOSPITAL ADMIN"

Dunno, just trying to imagine what this could be. The fact that it's assigned to the "sender" of the fax makes me think that this is some generic name assigned to the fax service of that particular hospital, and that this name was assigned by someone not necessarily attached to the hospital (more likely the Telecoms company that installed the fax service, hence the non-meaningful title). Just stabbing in the dark here, but that's my two cents worth...

I take it "MANTENIMIENTO HOSPITAL" was originally in CAPS? Which makes me think it a dept title...
