Tikur Anbessa Hospital is the largest general specialized referral hospital in Ethiopia having total of 600 beds. It is also a teaching hospital providing pre-service and in-service trainings in various fields and specialties. The hospital serves more than 818 patients per day. Majority of these patients receive a prescription containing one of more drugs. This indicates the need for proper organization of the hospital pharmacy in a manner that results in efficient and effective management of pharmaceuticals. The hospital pharmacy is expected to make sure that medicines needed by the majority of clients are available at all times in sufficient quantities. ABC value analysis is an important tool used worldwide, in identifying items that need greater attention for control and seek major cost reduction by setting interventions on class A items where saving will be more noticeable. Subsequent analysis by VEN is useful to determine the relative expenditure by public health value which reflects public health needs and morbidity patterns.
