Abstract: In today’s complex healthcare environment, fostering collaboration between medical professionals and administrative teams is essential for delivering high- quality patient care. However, non-clinical conflicts, often driven by differences in authority, communication gaps, and ego clashes, can disrupt organizational harmony. These conflicts between doctors, nursing heads, and corporate teams can negatively affect operational efficiency, care outcomes, and staff morale. This article explores the root causes of these conflicts, highlights successful global strategies for resolving them, and provides a comprehensive framework for promoting a culture of mutual respect and teamwork within healthcare settings. By implementing these approaches, healthcare organizations can create a cooperative environment that enhances both staff satisfaction and patient outcomes. Moreover, the article examines how these strategies can be applied globally to address similar challenges across diverse healthcare settings.
