First - what/who is the Medical Society for Blood Management?
Medical Society for Blood Management MSBM
MSBM is registered as “Medizinische Gesellschaft f Blutmanagement (Medical Society f Patient Blood Management), it operates from Schloßplatz 14, 2361 Laxenburg (a short time also operating from Seebenstein)
“Mag. Dr. Axel Olaf Hofmann” sole proprietorship with the tasks: medical research and business consultancy operates also from Schloßplatz 14, 2361 LaxenburgSources:
Why is brother Prof. Dr. med.rec. ME Alex Olaf Hofmann’s sole proprietory at the same time the seat of the Medical Society f Patient Blood Management - MSBM for which he works as consulant? Why was an Austrian branch of PBM societies founded at all if already existed other societies enough? And by whom was it founded, could I find out more about the founding members?
That particular society - another "bloodless" one - didn't show up until around 2006/7
Already since 2005 MSBM was member of organisation committees, namely when Axel was part of the organisation committee of the Vienna conventions. Mag. Axel Hofmann Medical Society of Blood Management“, organisation committee of the 1. European Convention for Bloodsaving medicine (2nd Austrian Convention) at Vienna, from 5 - 7.Oct., 2005 http://gobloodless.net/Index_en.htm
Probably the MSBM also was already active when the “1st Austrian benchmark study” (= bloodcomponents benchmarking”) from April 2004 to February 2005 was performed and completed. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17655591
Also it was in December 2005 that Mag. Axel Hofmann established a new business consultancy registered as “Mag. Dr. Axel Olaf Hofmann” with the tasks: medical research and business consultancy. His office is located in the same house where the bloodless protagonist MSMB is seated. http://www.firmenabc.at/mag-dr-axel-olaf-hofmann_NhQP
Is is also reported interestingly that it was 2005 when Prof. Isbister coined the term 'patient blood management. Further it is reported that MSBM is Prof. Isbister, Sydney and Prof. Hans Gombotz, Vienna child
- Given what we now know, donor transfusions should be limited only to surgery patients who are experiencing major bleeding that is difficult to control quickly," said James Isbister, MD, Clinical Professor of Medicine at the University of Sydney, and a founding member of MSBM.

Feature: Jehovah's witnesses and blood transfusion
So far, from what I can put together, the MSBM was formed with
individuals who also held the membership in the SABM - notably, Shannon Farmer
and Axel Hofmann. Both Farmer and Hofmann are Jehovah's Witnesses. (Farmer
ascended the HLC ladder).
