Lila is a Ward Clerk.

Explanation:

Health workers generally arrive at one goal which is to provide care and save lives. However, just as many companies have different workers in what we may refer to a division of labor. Each role is being handled by a professional, the same could be said of the health system which in this case is the hospital. We have the Practitioners, Attending physician, Doctors, Nurses, Pharmacists, and so many other roles in the hospital.

A Ward Clerk provides support for the Nurses, Doctors because they perform similar roles to some organization secretaries. In this case, Ward Clerks are responsible for attending to patients when they first arrive at a hospital. They are charged with duties such as receiving and recording patients' medical information and test results, direct them to the appropriate professional, check the health benefits or package patients' are entitled to, and a host of other duties.

Due to a shortage of health workers compared to patients needing health services, some countries have their Ward Clarks trained on minor hospital roles like taking temperatures, acting as supporting nurses. Generally, Ward clerks have some level of experience so as to provide care in emergency cases.
