The apparatus comprises an elongate support frame (1), which is connected to a bed (2); a couch (3) for the patient; and transfer means for transferring the patient on the couch (3), supported by the support frame (1). According to the invention, the transfer means include a hauling device, which is fitted in between the support frame (1) and the bottom (5) of the bed (2) so that the support frame (1) and the bottom (5) of the bed are essentailly vertically adjustable with respect to each other. Moreover, the support frame (1) is essentially horizontally turnable with respect to the vertical axis (B--B). The apparatus also comprises an auxiliary support (26), which is connected to the support frame (1) so that the auxiliary support is turned along with the support frame (1) when it is turned horizontally with respect to the vertical axis. The couch (3) is attached to the support frame (1) with straps ( 42) while the apparatus is in operation. The support points of the straps (4) in the support frame (1) are located at intervals from each other, and at least one of the support points is located outside the straight line passing through the two or more other support points.
