Regional Health Ministry

Or regional health department. You could incorporate the name of the region depending on the context - eg Catalan Health Ministry, Murcian Health Department....

Thanks. Sounds like it's Andalusia in this instance...
agree Cynthia Coan : Note: The Gran Diccionario Oxford does define "consejería" as "ministry" - "in certain autonomous governments," it adds in parentheses. Whether "ministry" or "department" works best here would depend on which autonomous region this entity serves.

Department of Health

it is perhaps worth noting that EC guidelines generally prefer the translation of "comunidad autonóma" as regional community and not autonomous community.

So... Department of Health Regional Government of Castile and Leon
