Google gets 211 hits for "co-medical staff", and many are documents written by Japanese. I think it's wasei.

I don't think "co-medical" is a noun. In fact, I don't believe "co-medical" is an English word. I can't find it in the OED, Webster or Wiktionary. A comment I found on the Web also corroborates this: 英語では,co-medicalという言葉は一般的ではありません.
.
The first gloss of my proposed definition is basically a translation of the Kojien definition, and the second gloss is a term used in Australia to refer to these people -- see
http://www.health.nt.gov.au/Allied_Health/
.
I think you could add "paramedic" in Webster's first sense: "a person who works in a health field in an auxiliary capacity to a physician (as by giving injections and taking X-rays)" but it could be confused with the 2nd sense, which is certainly more common in Australia at least -- "a specially trained medical technician licensed to provide a wide range of emergency services"
