Dadurch, dass Latein in der Medizin eine wichtige Rolle spielt, ist es nicht vom Aussterben bedroht.
Does the construction: "dadurch, dass" indicate causality? Or does it indicate the means of action in the sentence (like "indem")?

Well, I would say it is causality. "Because Latin has a big role in medicine it is not going down" (not completely correct translation). The "dadurch, dass" tells us that the situation is shown after it (latin has a big role in medicine) which then goes over to the thing that follows out of this situation.
