It's a sad thing that good health in developing, as well as 'established' countries leads so quickly to overpopulation. A longer life span can be a great thing if you aren't burdened beyond your means raising children.
I understand it will never be that simple, but controlling the birth rate is equally as important as controlling the disease rate.
I guess it comes back to education.
People need to see a value in not having children.

Has anybody read "The Mote In God's Eye"?
Deadstick... wow, hadn't thought about Jerry Pournelle for ages... used to read his columns in Byte faithfully... and as it happens he's having a funder right now for Chaos Manor https://www.jerrypournelle.com/chaosmanor/

Very simple solution to population growth: Make sure they have a decent economy(capitalist systems work quickest and best), and then introduce socialist programs, and especially important, the tax rates necessary to attempt to fund them. Sit back and watch the birth rate plummet below replacement rates. No more problem!
So far in history, this always works. (if you haven't noticed, Socialism has this as a built-in national death sentence. Due to human nature, there is no way to avoid this result.)
