It said at least three doctors, "including one of last pediatricians" were among the people killed in the direct hit.
The charity did not indicate whether the Syrian government or rebel forces were behind the attack on the hospital.
Syria has been mired in civil war since 2011, with government forces loyal to Syrian President Bashar Assad fighting numerous opposition factions and extremist groups.
