  • Many visually impaired children do not have access to specialised health care in South Africa, especially in disadvantaged areas. Nor do children with autism. It is with this in mind that Professor Lorna Jacklin helped to establish the Children’s Disability Centre in 1983. Professor Jacklin was awarded the 2009 Inyathelo Award for Philanthropy in Health.
