Does anyone know what this kind of tasks is called ?

This is a semantic lookup, where you look at specific terms in the text and find superordinates for them:
Chlorpromazine is a medicine or a drug; a diagnosis is a type of procedure, and a patient is a living being). You could do this with an ontology or a thesaurus; some dictionaries also have information about superordinates, often in the definition ("a horse is a mammal with four legs").
This is not named entity recognition. In NER you identify something by its name, and return a specific identifier. So for Chlorpromazine you would not say that it was a medicine/drug, but you would get a serial number or reference for it which is distinct from any other drug.
