Gain insights from Efroymson's extensive experience as Regional Director of HealthBridge, Advisor to Work for a Better Bangladesh Trust, and co-founder of the Institute of Wellbeing. Discover how her book "Beyond Apologies" questions mainstream developmental policies and proposes sustainable alternatives.
