Background: There has been little attention to how organizational structure and leadership contribute to value in health care organizations, although general strategies for promoting value in health care organizations have been described. Objective: The current study aimed to assess the impact of doctors and non-doctor’s leadership on patient care in Pakistan. Methodology: In-depth interview were conducted in different hospitals of the Pakistan and a single instrumental case study approach was selected. For sample selection, a non-probability sampling technique called purposive or selective sampling technique was used. All extracted data was subjected to thematic analysis. Results: Participants were interviewed from all the provinces. Majority of the hospitals were managed by non-doctors. Adequate infrastructure, no appropriate laws, communication gap was observed in the current study. Conclusion: The current study shows that in Pakistan health care system upper-level management is comprised of non-technical professionals (non-doctors), and most of Pakistan's hospitals do not have adequate infrastructure, are not governed by appropriate laws, have a communication gap, are not adequately providing health care or doing so inadequately, have shortage of leadership, and upper level and lower level are interdependent
