Chemotherapy Drug inventory control in Cancer Hospitals has a high investment value. This becomes a crucial issue related to hospital income and drug availability. So it is necessary to analyze the inventory control of chemotherapy drugs to find out whether it is in the efficient category or not. Inventory control efficiency is assessed by Inventory Value and Inventory Turn Over Ratio (ITOR). The study used a descriptive method, with a sample of chemotherapy drugs from January to December 2023. Drugs are grouped based on the ABC method of investment value, analyzed for final inventory value and ITOR. The results showed that there were 16 drugs in category “A”, 13 drugs in category “B”, and 62 drugs in category “C”. The inventory value decreased by Rp 243,249,119, - and ITOR increased by 29,914. It was concluded that chemotherapy drug inventory control at the Cancer Hospital Pharmacy Installation was efficient.
