Hi,
We are new in Finland. We are having a baby in the end of this month. We want to know about the packing for our baby.What should be provided by Jorvi Hospital? What should we bring with us? Will some one help us.

The hospital should provide you with things you need IN hospital. You need clothes to dress him/her when you check out and presumably you want a baby crib for a car.

HUS own "What to bring to the hospital?" page

If you'll be going home by car, having car seat already then is a legal requirement (as well as for the safety of your child of course).

Good luck

Do you know what happen if we plan to go back home by taxi? Should we tell the taxi company to bring a baby seat (in case they have any) or how would it work?... I will deliver in a couple of months, but we have no car so we are planning to go and come back by taxi.

You are not legally required to use one in a taxi. You should be able to get one if you preorder, I do not know how much it costs extra (I think they are legally allowed to charge for the time picking up the seat takes).
Other low cost options are to rent one

or try to buy one second hand
