But you would be wrong.
At the Khartoum Teaching Hospital staff say security forces have attacked three times.
Elfatih Amdallah is the hospital's director.
"This is unethical, inhumane and unacceptable, it is completely unacceptable to attack hospitals which are protected."
Attacks on medical facilities were seen during an uprising in Sudan three years ago.
Now they appear to have reemerged amid rallies against an October coup.
The phenomenon has deepened anger among the protest movement and further strained a chronically under-resourced health system.
Medics have submitted a report to the office of the U.N.'s human rights high commissioner, documenting more than 20 alleged incidents of security forces impeding medical care since the coup.
On a visit to the Khartoum Teaching Hospital, Swedish ambassador Signe Burgstaller said she was "very disturbed" by stories of tear gas being fired into emergency wards.
"They had to transport their patients outdoor to be able to treat them and not suffocate. This is a blatant breach on basic human rights."
Hundreds of protesters have been injured and 63 killed, according to the Central Committee of Sudanese Doctors, which is aligned with the protest movement.
Military leaders justify the coup as saving Sudan from chaos and say they will protect the right to peaceful protest.
On Saturday (January 8) the Khartoum State security committee expressed regret at the "violations" of hospital grounds.
In a statement it said high-ranking officers would be posted inside hospitals to monitor any breaches.
A police official, who asked not to be named, said "we do not assault doctors" nor civilians as, quote, "our role is to protect them".
