Under India's National Programme for Prevention and Control of Cancer, Diabetes, CVD, and Stroke (NPCDCS), opportunistic screening at Health and Wellness Centres (HWCs) covers all of the following EXCEPT:

• A Hypertension screening using standardised BP measurement
• B Blood glucose testing (CBAC tool)
• C Coronary angiography for high-risk individuals ✓
• D Oral cancer screening by visual inspection

Explanation

NPCDCS at HWCs includes opportunistic screening for hypertension, diabetes (using CBAC — Community Based Assessment Checklist and blood glucose), and common cancers (oral, cervix, and breast). Coronary angiography is a tertiary-level invasive diagnostic procedure and is not part of community-level or HWC-based screening. Referral for confirmed or suspected CVD cases to district hospitals is the pathway after primary screening.
