Abstract
Warfarin remains the cornerstone for preventing thromboembolic events (TEEs), but a narrow therapeutic range, complex pharmacokinetics, and interactions with various substances complicate its use. Specialized anticoagulation management services (AMS) are known to improve warfarin control and outcomes; however, there is limited evidence of their effectiveness in Africa, particularly in Ethiopia
