I am using the # character at the begining of the line. change it to reflect your idea of commenting out.
Code:
awk ' BEGIN{ ok=0 }
        /BEGIN e-healthcare SETUP/ {print $0; ok=1; next}
        / END e-healthcare OAS SETUP/ {ok=0}
        ok==1 {printf(" #")}
        {print $0}' somefile > newfile

       # only if this works for you
        mv newfile somefile

to find files (under /etc ? really weird)
Code:
grep -l ' END e-healthcare OAS SETUP' /etc/*
