It's against the Geneva Conventions to use hospitals as military bases, or to attack hospitals. The idea that no country should mix public health and military operations is mutually agreed on, and is to help keep war, for lack of a better word, "civilized".
If you start doubting that doctors are truly just trying to save lives, then the line between civilians and soldiers becomes so blurry that war can become even more horrible than it already is. Countries must hold firm that civilians doctors must not be ever construed as soldiers, for the safety of those doctors, and the people they treat.
