Abstract One of the most challenging aspects in the health care industry is to understand the nuances and strategies of those companies that provide both B2B and B2C services, apart from being supported by their management team, quality officers, the HR Manager, the clinicians, the doctors, and the holistic support of all staff. This case study focusses on analyzing the various indicators of success of The Health Medical Services (THMS), a major service provider in the health care sector, serving both B2B and B2C markets in the UAE and the organizational factors that drove the service provider to success, creating an exceptional experience for both their internal and external customers. The unique success drivers of THMS, as brought out by the current study include Customer Relationship Management, unique leadership style, employee engagement, market orientation, Quality Circles, patient-centric care, and service innovation in health care that supports their sustainability and scalability. Moreover, a literature review on the success drivers brings out the academic implications of the study.
